RE: first car
I like the convertibles, now of course you are going to get different responses on that question from everyone. The convertibles weigh more than the hard tops but I beleive that they are the nicest looking out of the bunch. The 1987-1993 mustangs were rated at 225 HP and 300 Ft lbs. of torque. Some good sites are 50resto.com, summitracing.com and ebay.com... I know that I'm leaving out a few. The best years were from 89-93? because of the MAF.

89,90,91,92 WHERE THE BEST YEARS BECUASE THE COMPUTER WAS A MASS AIR-STAY AWAY FROM 93 BAD PISTONS- NOT FORGED LIKE THE OTHER YEARS- 87,88 HAD SPEED DENSITY, DIFFICULT TO MODIFY,GET A NOTCH BACK - GOOD LUCK [:@]

^^^^Ummm.....your wrong,89-93 had mass air and the california 88's had mass air,87-92 had forged pistions,93 had hyper pistions.And don't be scared of a speed density car,they can be converted over to mass for a couple hunderd bucks,and a few hours of work with normal hand tools.And IMO the 89 was the best year because they had mass air,forged pistons,and tilt steering as with the 90 and newer don't have tilt because of the air bags.

I need help and no one is responding to my thread....... I'm swaping a 1990 5.0 into my wrangler and i'm curious about the vacuum and smog equipment. Mostly the valves on the passenger side fender well and how I can plug them. If I remove everythign but the EGR valve will the computer not throw a code?
Looking for some assisntance thanks
