Yep, well as you already read i got it runnin....was a bi7ch...i had a bad ground at first and then other problems.....but now she runs.. but not very good....oh yah, another question.....the car is a 91 and the fuel pump relay was supposed to be under the seat, right???? there are the provisions for it but no relay...is just a cover for it.....and if you jump the wires the pump will run.....just wonderin where the relay was on the 91 4 cyl....i now have it under the hood, by mass air and it works fine with the 91 car.....thats weird.....

Yank the distributor and intake and put a carb and intakeon it.And then a1985 mustang GT 5 speed duraspark 2 distributor and boxwith the bronze gear for 45.00 bucks at the local parts store and never look back.

I replaced my distributor last year and used this distributor (with a cast gear since mine isnt a roller block like yours) and it had a damn good advance curve on it stock i was suprised.

You will also need a fuel pressure regulator or a mechanical pump (which is cheaper and easier).
