Welcome to the forum Tim, glad to have you and another Foxbody around.

If your having troubles with something, start a new thread in the appropriate Tech section and we'll help you in there. There's one section just for Fox's and early SN Mustangs.

Welcome aboard.

Best of luck getting it going.

Change all the fluids in the car. gas, oil, anti-freeze, etc.

Remove spark plugs and shoot a little oil in each cylinder and hand crank it a little to loosen the motor up some.
