Another day of good news and bad news.

Bad news: the guy sold the interior out from under me after I told him I couldn't pick it up yesterday but could today.

Good news: I talked the wife into driving out to the junk yard so I could get the wiper motor. I got the only one I could find for a 87+ and it works! I also snagged up the pigtails I need to make a jumper harness for the old hatch wiring with the newer body wiring. I will show pics of that whenever I take the time to solder it all together. Need it to make the license plate lights work for inspection and the defroster.

 

I think the next item on my list after I make that pigtail is to figure out how I want to mount the battery. That way I can finally top off the gas tank. I don't want to fill it up before I know if I have to drop the tank at all to drill a couple holes. Then to finish the headlights.

To Do List for now
make harness for hatch
make mount and mount battery
finish head light work

 

I pull 15" of vacuum @ 750-800rpm idle with my car, and my cam is more aggresive then yours.

im thinking you got a leak.

 

EFI tends to pull more vac than a carbed car does

 

really? why?

 

Ya know, I really couldn't tell ya but it is something that I have noticed. Hell maybe its just my car idk lol. But from info I have read here and there I don't think I have seen a carbed car that had more than 15 at idle.

 

Its been awhile since any updates but I did get the jumper harness made to adapt my old hatch wiring to the new body. Now my license plate lights and the defroster works. I also received the stock lug nuts for the wheels from the original owner on Thursday. Hopefully I will get around to mounting the battery this week.

 

I decided to take a video of a few mins of fun and showing the car so my brother back in Indiana can get to see it. He is the one that got me started into Mustangs so I like to show him the progress since he isn't down here and doesn't cruise the net much. I am uploading now.
