Default I am back with a 93 GT

Well I doubt anyone remembers me anyways haha. I had a 1982 mustang and I have recently sold that car and I purchased a rolling chassis 93. I am just switching my old engine into the new body.

I paid $2000 for the body and it is in great shape plus it has some goodies, like coil overs and tubular k member. Just wanted to say hello again because I will probably be much more active now!

I do have a quick question though. The 93 came with an electric fuel pump. My 82 was fed by a mechanical fuel pump. Do I just need to hook up a regulator in order to keep my carb setup with the electric fuel pump?

Carb uses 6lb fuel pressure. EFI sends 35-40 lbs of fuel pressure.

I think you are going to need a regulator with a return line on it.
I think that Aero-motive has your pump....

Thanks for the compliments guys! Don't hate me but I was told by the previous owner that he painted it corvette red. I can't complain though.

I know that the fuel pump puts out way more pressure than I need. That's why I asked about using a regulator. I am assuming I will be fine as long as I run a return line from the regulator.

It looks good, but is that negative camber I see? Hard to tell on my cell but looks like it. I like the car though, very clean!

Good eye! It definitely needs an alignment. The tires have very even tread though. I'm not sure when the alignment got off.

gotta look at the tires with the motor in.theres no weight in the front end to push the suspension down to normal height.
