    Ignition Switch Wiring Help Needed

    Looks like red/light green wire. I'll hook my volt meter up to it after work to verify. My wiring isn't all there/hacked up, mostly the reason for the swap, but ignition stuff should still be correct.

    Ignition Switch Wiring Help Needed

    Been a while since posting, just now getting back into working on the stang. Going carb with my 351w swap and going to try the hei dizzy and need to know what wire is hot while cranking, and still hot when running. Was going to use the pink wire for the power windows I believe, but not sure...

    got my car to run KOER now................

    From my understanding you can't run a 5 speed computer and an automatic O2 harness. I have done a lot of reading on O2 harness' in the past week (previous owner screwed my wiring so bad) and what they say is Ford made 4 different O2 harnesses. If you use the wrong harness, it will throw a...

    Changed back to stock rockers, now check out this crazy noise!

    Do you think you had the 1.7's installed incorrectly? There are thousands of people running them with no adjustment issues. I would much rather run a roller rocker instead of a stamped steel rocker.

    couldnt of happend at a worse time!!!ARGH!

    If the car is swapped to MAF, they might have swapped an entire harness from a newer car which would put the relay in the engine compartment.

    Anybody have 87 wiring diagram?

    thanks musttanguy, I did find some wiring diagrams that pointed it to be in the injector harness, just like txstang84 said. I'm going to have to cut the wire loom and electrical tape from my injector harness to try and find it.

    getting new valve covers need advice about plugging either pcv or the hole where breather goes

    you will hate those, they will leak. Like raceoholic said, the stamped steel ones distort and where they mate to the heads is always off causing them to leak.

    Putting an engine together!

    Eddlebrock does have smog legal heads that are decent, and i think the tfs cams are smog legal too, thats a good starting point. BBK makes decent headers, long tube, and a factory distributor will be ok.

    I think my block is facked

    that is an oil hole, like mike said. they are usually very rough. I haven't seen one that rough, but it might just be like that.

    Anybody have 87 wiring diagram?

    yep, but now as I read the wiring diagrams, the wire that was cut was just the low oil level sensor wire. Still have not found my O2 ground, if anybody has any suggestions, let me know.

    Changing pistons and balance

    you will need to get it rebalanced. you can re-use the crank, if it needs more weight, the machinist will just add some mallory metal to it. If it was me, I would get the correct pistons for the compression ratio for the cam and have it balanced, you already put this much thought and money...

    Anybody have 87 wiring diagram?

    Found it, I cut off all the electrical tape from the O2 harness and there it was, the orange ground cut and taped up. I always wondered why my car ran rich, lol.
