Hi all I just recently purchased a 1983 Ford Mustang GT for 1500, the car has a 1985 Roller Motor from a GT mustang with about 47k miles, body has about 120k miles, overall good shape, no rust... I'll try to keep all updated as i go along.....It is a t-top car, it needs a drivers window for a t-top car or convertible, because last owner thought a hardtop would fit obviously not 1/2" cap between window and weatherstripping, also i cant seem to get it to start getting spark and looks like fuel but is it possible its so bad it wont fire the car??? I just replaced the tank, unfortunately i bought a 16 gallon fuel cell so it will be in hatch of car not under in stock location, but in theory since the old tank was so bad it should fire right up, hopefully it will solve my problem is its at a friends so its hard to find time to work on it, any ideas or suggestions, would be great will add pix's as i can

thanks
MustangMike

is this going to be a street car/DD, if so, I dont think a fuel cell would be the best option... your gonna have a gas smell in the car without some sort of a bulkhead seperating you from it...
