1988

I have replaced the fuel pump, fuel sending unit, the fuel injectors, the gas tank (Old one was badly rusted), the ignition switch, and the car only turns over. I have not yet checked for spark. The car had been sitting for approximately eight years. The car was running at the time when it was...

Hey how's it going . I replaced my clutch about 2 weeks ago . And ever since I picked up the car it hasn't felt the same power wise. It just doesn't accelerate as hard as it use to. And after I put about 300 miles on I decided to do a quick run through the gears . When I did that I smelled...

I'm fairly new to the mustang world, owned a few in my life, but never been an "enthusiast", but this one might just be the one that changes that. I just traded my Jeep for her, and shes a beauty. However, I don't know a whole lot about mustangs in general, just have knowledge of cars. I...

Ok... so my friend has changed his 1988 5.0 from an automatic to a stick shift. There's a leak of transmission fluid coming up into the gear shifter and pretty much in other spots. One thing he's having problems with is finding out what size little plastic speedometer gear piece to get to fit...
