Looking for advice on EFI for a 1973 mustang 302ci

Blues2013 — Fri, 01 May 2026 01:49:01 GMT

Have a 73 mustang project 302 that is being bored to a 347 when done will sit a a fairly conservative 350-400 hp now some people consider this blasphemy, but I am very interested in a Holley EFI SNIPER 2 or similar the price goes from $1300 all the way up to $2600+ depending on extras if anyone has any true experience with this I would appreciate any advice to point me in the right direction as far as what parts and how expensive of a package I would need for it. The fuel pump, throttle plate, intake manifold, and since it was born a 2 barrel do I need something different for that? I don�t know. If you�ve done it before by all means holler at me. I�m a noob to the forum.

This vehicle is not my daily driver and has very low mileage. I’m selling it because it primarily sits in the garage, and I need the space for another project.

The battery was replaced last year after it fully died. Following the replacement, a check engine light appeared and has remained on (code: P0607). I currently have an appointment scheduled with Ford (Future Performance) to have this inspected.

The vehicle drives well with no noticeable performance issues despite the check engine light.

Please note: the active exhaust system is not functioning because the actuator has been removed. The exhaust operates as-is and is significantly louder than stock.

Battery Drain

05Limestang — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 17:16:45 GMT

I have a 2005 V6 that seems to drain the battery. Seems I can't let it sit longer than 3-4 days to keep the battery charged. Is there some activity that might happen to account for this issue? I cannot seem to find a short circuit and also am not getting codes. Anyone else experience this?

2026 Ford Mustang GT Coupe - After 90 Days

JK 23112 — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 02:29:38 GMT

New guy here!

My wife and I bought a brand new 2026 Mustang GT coupe three months ago. It is our "retirement toy" and spends most of the time in the garage. Just about 1,200 miles on it now and it is certainly a fun car to take out on a nice day. It is Adriatic Blue, has a 6-speed manual transmission, cloth seats, rear spoiler delete (it looks better without it, honestly) and is the 'base' model. No Premium Package, no Performance Package and no Active Valve Exhaust. It even has manual seats - which I prefer - so we got it at a very nice discount.

Since the Camaro and Challenger are now gone and the Corvette is automatic only (and is in a totally different class), the Mustang GT is probably the only rear-drive V8 American car that you can get with a manual transmission. It's the fifth Mustang GT coupe I ever had - following a 1988, a 1993, a 1995 and a 2008. Every one of them had a five-speed manual, but this one has a Getrag manual with six gears. It has rather tall rear axle gears, so I am turning about 2,500 at 80+ mph on the Interstate. Plenty of power and abundant torque. You can shift at 4,000 RPMs and still outpace most traffic. The fuel economy has been 16 mpg at the worst and 22 mpg at the best. I only run 93 octane premium in it, although I think that you CAN run regular if you are willing to see downgraded performance and worse fuel mileage. Better to just give it premium and drive it less frequently. I paid $4.26 at Costco - whereas it costs $4.76 to $4.90 at most other area stations. A Prius it ain't!!

The car came with Continental all-season 18" tires on it - same size on all four wheels. If you get the Performance Package, you get 19" wheels but the summer-only tires are wider in the back. That means you cannot rotate them. The Continental rubber is not nearly as "grippy" as Michelins, Pirelli or Goodyear skins, but at least I can rotate them every 5,000 miles and they might last longer. If I goose the car going around a corner, the rear end will come out faster than that of a chubby girl wearing shorts that are too small. As long as you are cognizant of that, it is still a decent handling car and fun on a windy road -- although it honestly is better suited to a straight road. I am an old guy now, but if I were thirty years younger, I might have been more interested in the Dark Horse Mustang. 500 horsepower, Tremec six-speed manual, bigger brakes, louder exhaust, wider tires, etc.

The dual touch screens are fairly nice, but I honestly would prefer fully analog gauges, dials and switches. You have to use the touch screens to turn on the A/C, mess with the stereo system, etc. If you get a Mustang with the Premium Package, you get one giant touch screen. The base model gives you two smaller ones. A nice feature with all of them is that you can change the dash layout to be one of eight different themes - my favorite being the 1967/1968 or the Fox Body theme. The worst thing about the car is the automatic stop/start feature - especially with a manual transmission. You have to press a button every time you start the engine and it will disable it. The audio system is pretty good - but to say that it is "wonky" is an understatement. It also takes a long time for your phone to sync via Bluetooth. The rear seats are a joke if you are over 5 feet tall. Front seat legroom is excellent, the cloth seats are comfortable. The side mirrors are kind of small - so I would recommend buying a set of small convex mirrors so that you don't have to crane your neck every time you want to change lanes.

The exhaust note is wonderful - albeit not as loud as you will find with the Performance Package and/or the Active Valve Exhaust. The cruise control works well, but the car does NOT have the forward sensing or adaptive system that slows you down. The rear backup camera is great - easy to see behind you. Just remember to wash the lens when you clean the car or it will be blurry. The Adriatic Blue color looks green in bright sunlight, but more of a dark blue when it is dark or overcast. I wanted Grabber Blue or Arctic White, while my wife wanted the Molten Magenta (Yuck!), so the Adriatic Blue was a compromise. She has a 2025 Camry in a color called Ocean Gem - which is quite similar.

Since I have yet to reach 1,500 miles so far, I have not really gotten down hard on it and ran it through the gears at full throttle. As was the case with a Corvette that I owned years ago, I won't ever drive this car to its fullest potential. I have a clean driver's license and want to keep it that way. Haha!! I will attach a few photos. It stays in the garage most of the time and I keep a cover over it. This grandpa loves having a clean Mustang when I do take it out of hibernation!

Leak Through the Flywheel Bolts

drhoward — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 13:17:27 GMT

I've been trying to track down a leak (or more than one) from the back of my engine, I'm in the process of swapping my transmission over to a t56 so I'd like to try to fix these leaks while the old one is out. Have many people here seen the bolts from their flywheels leak? Last time I had mine out (last year to try to fix this leak - it didn't work) I used red locktight when I reinstalled the bolts, but I'm wondering if YOU PEOPLE have had any luck with teflon paste etc? Not 100% sure this is where the leak is coming from, it may be the oil pan or the rear main seal - I replaced the rear main seal last year when I had the trans out thinking that was the cause - but the oil seems to be on my transmission and not on my oil pan, that has me thinking that it could be the flywheel bolts. I also bought one of those tools to turn my oil pump with a drill, I'm thinking of trying to pressurize the system while the transmission is out to see if anything is visible. Not sure if that will work or not but figured it was worth a try since the tool cost 16 dollars lol. Any Ideas People?????

Non-OEM Replacement Front Splitter

leftymack — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 12:37:07 GMT

Hello Guys-

I have a 2018 GT Premium with PP1. My dog chewed on the front splitter, so he's about to turn 2 years old and I "think" that it may be safe for me to get a new splitter, but I don't want to pay OEM prices. Can you guys recommend an aftermarket replacement?

Also, I just got a decent ($4K) tax return and I want to do a couple of mods. I would like to get those "Hood Pin Locks". Does any anyone have any suggestions?

[Mustang Ecoboost] A/C Question

Ambiloquous — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 08:19:36 GMT

Hello. I have a 2022 Mustang Ecoboost that I bought 6 months ago, low mileage, in great condition, A/C blowing cold *but* at the same time acting crazy!

Most of the time, the A/C just blows air to my feet or to the windshield. It doesn't matter what the settings look like in the climate control screen; it seems to have its own life: sometimes it works well, and I can control it as usual.

I tried whatever I could think of: updated the entertainment system, reset it to the default settings, unplugged the battery for hours to reset any lingering settings, and replaced the battery. I still get the same behavior: sometimes it works as it should, most of the time it acts erratically.

Before taking it to Ford, does anyone have a suggestion? There are no physical climate controls, almost everything is done through the screen...

Need opinions on a possible purchase

BriansNSane — Sat, 18 Apr 2026 16:37:49 GMT

I'm looking to buy a 2017 GT and it has everything that I'm looking for. I looked up a carfax on it and it is saying at 28,000 miles the engine was checked, oil pressure was checked, engine/powertrain computer was checked, cam shafts were replaced, timing chain gears replaced, oil control valve replaced, front camshaft oil seal replaced, water pump gasket replaced, engine compression checked, ignition system checked, spark plugs replaced, intake manifold and gasket replaced. It seems to have had normal maintenance done it since then up to 76000 miles with the original owner driving it for another 30,000 miles before being sold and new owner has driven it another 16000 miles and was traded in at a dealership. What in the world happened to this engine? Should I steer clear of it or does it seem like the original issues were worked out? It makes me wonder what in the world happened to it at 28,000 miles to warrant all the replacement parts? Thank you for any input you all could provide.

Rusted lower door skins repair

hotrodjohn71 — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 01:20:03 GMT

My 67 mustang has rusted lower door skins and door shell bottoms. They are otherwise in pretty refurbishable shape.

Im not sweating repairing the door shell

bottom rust but id like to submit this for suggestions regarding the lower door skin rust.

I do not want to fully reskin the doors. The upper door skin metal is nice and straight and id hate to throw it away.

This lower door skin rust goes all the way across and actually flapps in the wind.

Im thinking about just simply cutting across to good metal then tig in a new strip of metal and crimp on the bottom and sides.

Ever seen one this bad? What did you do?

Engine light,
