Hello ladies, gentlemen and n00bs, here is an all new thread for your viewing pleasure. Herein I'll be compiling links to threads that answer some really common questions, and in the process hopefully spark some intelligent conversation and build upon Fox Talk/Tech's knowledge base. This will be an ongoing effort, so please feel free to post suggestions for common questions or additional threads with which to answer already listed questions.

For starters, this sticky gets overlooked VERY frequently, and it already answer a lot of tech questions that get asked on a daily basis:

Hello, i am new to the site.

I have a 1988 mustang with an '89 motor and wiring harness. I Picked up the car in Sept. At one point the alternator was no longer charging and I had to replace both alternator and battery. Now the fuel pump no longer primes when turing the ignition. I had a mechanic buddy of mine look at the car to test the voltage, relays, and the inertia switch of which all seem to be okay. I am at a loss at this point.

Any suggestions


You need to start a new thread in the tech section, not here.
 
Well the color code for sand beige is 8L and 66 stands for medium yellow but mine says 66B and everything is sand beige the original paint underneath is sand beige as well is it pretty rare or something cause i cant seem to find it online it says only 162 mustangs were painted that color for exterior/interior and only 47 1987 coupes were painted that color those were 5.0's though mine was originally a 4cyl did they not produce alot of these sorry for the confusion bro
