Default 1988 mustang gt

Hey everyone. Just joined the forum. I wanna say thanks in advance for all the help. A few years ago I bought an 1988 mustang gt. The person I got the car from said he did a bunch of work to it but I can not confirm. (?)= can't confirm. This is what he told me. It's a 302 bored (?) Steel crank (?) Forged poisons (?) Cam (?) Trick flow heads (?) Trick flow valve cover trick flow intake plenum msd set up 373 rear (lie it's the stick gear ratio but ford racing). So when I got it she wouldn't run right so I brought it a speed shop and he said he had to do a mass air conversion and change the computer in order to dyno tune it. In the process of trying to dyno tune found out the brakes were shot in back and master cylinder. It then needed a whole tune up plugs wires cap rotor ignition module on distributor msd spark box on fender rebuilt rear end and 500hp fuel pump. Car ran great but had sat for 2 years in storage and tried getting it going today. Turn the key and it would catch then shut off. After a while I got it to run and took it around the block and it sputters and stalls at stops. The ignition module on distributor just replaced today and msd spark box on fender. Replace with 10 gal of 93 gas. Any ideas?

Welcome to the forum, but as Redfire said, it's best to start a thread like this in the Fox/SN tech section. We'll help you sort it out.
