Restoring the old Eight Nine Stang

[AgPete139]

No worries. I don't recall hearing what the fix wound up being.

Ended up partially being the Ignition Module (Ford is a must, autoparts aftermarket did not last and have short lives) and the entire distributor. When you turn the distributor gear, the pickup wobbles inside the housing like crazy.

I assumed my distributor was fine @ 100K mi, and I had switched out my cap+rotor, wires, and Ignition Module. I was close...just didnt occur to me that the entire shaft should was capable of wobbling a the pickup making shiddy contact.



What's the verdict with the rims?

What's the verdict with the rims?

I'm still weighing my options. I want to see my buddy's pony rims when he gets them done. It's just going to sit for a couple months now, maybe more if this winter keeps dumping snow on us. Over the course of the next couple months I'm going to gather some things. I need new carpet, possibly a new drivers seat, new headers, as well as the rims decision.

I'm also contemplating putting louvers on the rear window. My friend's 85 had them, and I really liked them a lot.

Congrats.

Thank you guys, I am stoked to get it out this spring and put it in some cruise nights (local car shows every Thursday night).

If any of you Mustang guys have a set of Ford Motorsport or BBK 1515 headers for sale, let me know. I'm in the market.

Go w/ the LX lamps looks a LOT cleaner IMO! I ran 83-86 tailights on my 91. basically the same as the 93 Cobra but without the pinstripes!!

Thanks Rico. She's not seeing any street action until March/April (whenever the snow leaves). Believe me, window tint is on the agenda.

Thanks! It's already undercoated, and fortunately won't see too much more snow; thanks to the Ranger. I love my plate frame. I used to have a front frame that said "only little boys wear bowties". No more front plate for me though.
