I like that. We are digressing from Stang stuff, but take the words of a seasoned high voltage lineman: Working around live electrical systems need not be scary, but can be very unforgiving. Have a great day.

There is no such thing as an electrical moron. I have spent my entire career chasing electrons and no one is capable of having a working knowledge of every aspect and detail of systems like these. That is why I so appreciated your question about when the failures took place. I opened a new...

I have had the problems with the NAPA version of the control modules that failed so catastrophically. At the last failure, I had an after-market module in my tool chest that came with an equipment package somewhere in the distant past (i.e. I don't remember exactly where.) If there are my...

An inductive device (such as a motor, especially with a partially faulted winding) is capable of producing a spurious voltage surge or spike. This often shows up at motor starting or when a high torque load is imposed on a motor. The voltage spike on a shared system can lead to failure of more...

Great question! Both times it showed no problem while engine was running just prior to the glitch. Failure could be pointed to startup, which then might point to the starter or solenoid as the source. The starter was replaced about 1,200 miles prior to the ignition module fiascos. I have...

I have gone through two ignition modules in two months. I have found no codes thrown and difficulty in isolating with power to the coil nothing coming back to the low voltage side of the distributor. distributor. With the last replacement I put in a #14 stranded wire from the module frame to...

I have a problem with no high voltage on the ignition system. Without a scan tool, where should I start my search for broken connection, ICM, or other prospective culprit? Is it worth the investment in a scan tool device or am I just being cheap?

Okay guys, I am in the same situation. The cable was sold as a "plug-and-play" solution for the installation of the CD. I have to 460 Head and CD connections figured out, but need to know the other connections on the harness. I tried applying the schematics from the factory manual, but got...

Good thoughts, guys. It looks like a new intake is in the same mix with the TB and MAF Thanks.

From a much more senior Stang enthusiast, who is more familiar with three deuces, dual point distributors, and cheater slicks (really old guy, huh?) :lol: Background: My wife (not quite as old as me, but still Very cool) came home upset because a Firebird blew off her doors. After a...

You have got to love soft tops to own one. Living in Colorado (no rain this year!) and having a garage, the top was only up three times from June to September. You can wash a vert with the top down, if you are careful. You know that a/c with the top down on a hot day is a kick too?

I understand your dilema, but if I were your age again there would be no doubt the direction to take. My wife cannot understand anyone not wanting a 'vert. The top on ours is very tight, especially compared to the British cars I had in my 20's. We put the Stang on a "limited use" basis during...
