Default late christmas present!

I set today aside just for my 91 5.0 vert. I was going to install a MSD coil and remove the smog stuff. I got the coil done in about 15 mins. Went the other side of the car and no smog. I guess the previous owner deleted it. The car didn't have cats when i bought it. O/R h-pipe in it's place. I checked were I thought that smog should have been. There is no hanging wires, and the back of the intake manifold has a small screw in a tube. It's been a good day.

later

ps. with the msd coil, i noticed a little better idle and a tad more throdle response.

Get yourself the 6AL ignition box and you will notice bit better Throttle response.

since you want to work on suspension i would do upper and lower control arms with the subframe connectors they help a lot

i haven't done much research on control arms. i do know that my vert feels like a wet noodle when being pushed through curves or on bumpy roads. i can actually feel the car flex from one side to the other! i may look into those in the future

thanks for the advice, keep it coming
