Finally runs after almost 2 years.
Don't have much time to work on car or log in as much as I would like to but it finally moves under its own power. Been doing the efi swap with hydraulic t5, it took me a while to get it to fire up then about 2 months ago I ordered everything for the hydraulic clutch. I had a little trouble getting everything set up and bleeding it. but It finally worked Then my fuel pump went bad. Bought an airtrix and went through 3 of them in less than a month. Luckly for me I was able to get my money back and went and bought a bosch premium pump. Two weeks later and it is working great. I took it to a shop nearby to get the timing right since I don't have a timing light and the guys decided to sich the firing order to a non HO. I took it back and told them that it would take of and he started saying that the engine was no good. Looking at it I saw the wrong firing order and swiched it. Man does it move, I wish I knew how to post a vid. It feels great driving after all this time. At some point I regreaded doing the swap. Oh well I'm glad I did it just gotta finish it up and hide the wires hopefully this month. Car was not there at the time. My radiator gets hot is it suppose too? By the way it is a new aluminum rad with 16" electric fan.

Glad to hear u got the car up and running.My first car when I was 18 I had a 68 mustang 289 3 speed and I too had the firing order crossed once.Any way if u have a camera that shoots audio/video just put it in has a file just like you do the picture and it should work?I miss my 68 mustang I wish I would have never sold it ....young and dumb at the time !
