Time for me to toss some cash at the car. It has developed some lifter noise and I figure it can use some general freshening. Look at this list of parts and see if I'm forgetting anything. I'm trying to stay under 2k for parts. 79-04 Steeda Mustang Sport Springs 85-93 Belt Tensioner, 5.0L 85-01 Hydraulic Roller Oem 5.0L/5.8L Lifters 86-93 Water Pump, 5.0L, Stock Flow 63-01 Gasket Set, Engine - 289/5.0L/5.8L - 86-93 Tfi Module, 5.0L With Manual Transmission - by Accel 86-95 Distributor Kit, Cap & Rotor, 5.0/5.8L - by Ford Racing 83-95 Motorcraft Ignition Coil For Mustang 5.0L With Efi - by Motorcraft Plug Wire Set, 5.0L/5.8L - Black - by Ford Racing Motorcraft Spark Plug, Mustang - by Motorcraft 79-93 5.0L Mustang 1 5/8 Chrome Shorty Headers - by BBK 86-93 H-Pipe, Catalytic, 2.5, For Shorty Headers - by BBK
Don't waste your money on the Accel TFI module and fancy-schmancy coil. You won't gain anything from them, period. The OEM stuff works fine for 99% of folks ... unless you simply MUST buy "performance" EVERYTHING just to have all those name-brand parts underhood.
