Question code reader?

Hey guys I was wondering what you would suggest for buying a code reader? I have a 94 gt but I want it to read codes from multiple car types (if possible). I tride doing some research, there's just so many! lol thanks for the help (in advance)

you don't need a code reader for a mustang per say...DIY KOER = GOOGLE IT.......AS FOR A STANDARD CODE reader for pre 96/obd II vehicles = none.....connector ends will vary from make to make..ie ford vs chevy vs toyota..........you won't find such for a cheap price...we have the Snap on Modis with all connector ends and software keys to do such for pre obd II vehicles and your talking alot of Benjamins
