bad pip and bad wire to the spout, got her running agian but im pulling codes for a o2 and the egr. today i polished up some valve covers that im going to spray out with some clear and swap on it with new metal rubber vlave cover gaskets and lose the leaky cork ones. i also put a self darkenning (auto mirror) mirror in that i need to wire up. its from a grand cherokee. they are really nice to have when some idiot with bright lights is behind you in a truck. next on the list is to put some resistors in the tab and tad connectors to turn those codes off.and i finally got rid of that smog pump that was just there running my old belt. it cleans up the engine clutter alot!
these are the covers before
after

self darkening not yet wired up

well i finally got off my butt and put on the valve covers today and im working on plans for a wire tuck, battery in the trunk i think, sorta considering a carb swap for the cleaner look and cheaper power. heres some pics of the valve covers.

i finally got rid of this heap lol. ive had alot of fun with this car but i dont think ill buy another fox again. none of the mustangs handle good but the foxbody seems like the most rattly .i bought a 94 z28 lt1 vette motor car with 105k so it was kinda pointless keepn the stang anymore. if i really wanna go fast i got a bike.at some point i want to pick up a 99-04 gt as i think they are best looking mustang but till then im ford free
