Update time...sadly, this Mustang is more "in need" than I want to deal with, so..after installing the trans and getting it moving, just too many other issues to chase down to make it worth it for me, so I have it on the market...but all is not lost...I have found a 1983 Mustang convertible that is in absolutely mint condition and I bought it....still gonna have a Mustang in my life...just plan worked a little differently.....she will be home in a few days and I will post some pics of this beauty when I get her into my driveway....

Ok, got some new shocks for the rear, will put the front struts in later, did a tune up on it with Motorcraft plugs, new cap, rotor and wireset....but for the life of me, I cannot seem to find the culprit of the stumble upon take off and when I cruise at a lower speed...also, fuel mileage is in the toilet....V6 starts and idles ok, just seems rough at certain points along the RPM range....going to check EGR valve....remember my dads old LTD had a similar problem and it turned out to be EGR related....thoughts??

Checked the EGR valve....bad! Put a vacuum pull on it and it leaked badly, would explain why it would stumble on acceleration and when cruising at around 40-ish at part throttle, ....ordered up a new one and I will post how it went.
