OK TODAY, IS A BIG NEWS DAY, The Falcon is a running project! ...and runs real good too!
Today is my dad's birthday, he had a 66' Mustang Fastback (2+2 sticks in my mind? I remember the chrome pony's but there was something beside it, dark blue (he called it Navy, he was Navy, with black interior (at least i remember it was very dark the only light was from the slits in the side louvers!), with a stick and jacked up chrome magnums with red stripes and dual glasspacks out the back. I remember him showing me those pipes after he had'em put on too. That was around '71 when I was around 5.
Yesterday the 31'st, was my birthday, and I finally got the "Little Falcon that could", running ! YAY!! I finished putting the last of the fuel lines in the day before and only a few small things to do the next day to start it back up. I was a little leery about it after trying so many things to no avail. I have learned allot about efi in the meantime. Thats how I realized it wasn't getting the fuel flow it needed in the first place. It would run but wouldnt idle for .... crap, ran like crap too. I started to realize that the engine was getting worse! I wasn't too sure but it seemed like it has progressively gotten worse since I got it, now what would get worse over time ? . . . . a plugged fuel filter! the sock too. . . . and rusty tank! It looked all good! Tank looked good, new filter, new pump. . . .it's a wonder it didn't leak! So a NEW tank was bought. A NEW pickup ( a SPECIAL pickup for efi! more later on that!), all new 3/8" vinyl fuel line (although it has 5/16" parts in it so no benefit) and new return line "fuel return approved" rubber line. All NEW fittings and hangers. Been collecting parts for over a while now finally have them all installed. Takes a while on a budget and all. I appreciate my wife for finding room in our already tight budget to make this happen.
So next will be a pic dump! Haha gotta have pics I was told! You'll gettem!
