Should just get a wiring harness off ebay for a 89+ car so you can have a MAF while you're at it, probably cost you $500 with a new dash cluster and MAF sensor and computer when all's said and done... only need a computer and maf if you stick with 89

^ i agree your better off buying a repair manual with all the electrical diagrams, buting a new 89 + harness and swapping it all out, start fresh

all right thanks alot guys, ur very helpful, hell ill ask another question,... my book on my car syas plug gap should be .044, but where i bought my plugs they're sayin .054.... they are bosch platinums, do you have any recommendations??? possibly better plugs for my motor... how bout plug wires... sorry first mustang, i love it and wanna learn as much about it as i can... one of those do it urself guys... my dad is a chevy guy so hes no help

Aha don't worry, I hate Fords more than anybody, but Mustangs they did right, Im a chevy guy too. Anyways, you never gap platinum plugs, they come pre-gapped. Are you sure you got the right plugs for the application? What do you mean plug wires? You mean what kind? I personally like Taylor wires, they have to be cut to length though which requires a special tool that looks like a wire crimper/stripper, there's a good do it yourself job for you if you like right there. You can route the wires however you want and make your engine bay nice n' clean
