    My First Project Nc89 - 89 5.0 Notchback

    I'm in the Charlotte Area @elarm1 What color are the seats and fabric. I'm going to rodo mine in all black, which late model has a pretty sweet front/rear seat set up with carpet. On the other hand I don't see how I could deny a good GT seat. What kinda shape are they in?

    My First Project Nc89 - 89 5.0 Notchback

    Hey Blue and jrichker, I appreciate you guys taking the time to help me with my idle issue. Blue I will definitely get the car timed as soon as I can but as for the MAF sensor I did take it out and clean it before installing a cold air intake but did not rub the wires with a q-tip(rest of it yes...

    Nc89 - Rough Idle - Timing/air Fuel Ratio

    Thanks again for the tip, Well you are right in the sense that I did not want to hear that but you're the first one to have something negative to say about Accel recently.. I'm not doubting you or but your the first to tell me its garbage. But thanks again though for the tip

    Nc89 - Rough Idle - Timing/air Fuel Ratio

    Thanks Mike, A tune at this point would be unnecessary but I was a little unsure about that at first. Im also thinking my Iridium NGKs might be a bit of an over kill for the stock set up while I'm using this as a weekend cruiser. Might work better in the future but still unsure of that because...

    Nc89 - Rough Idle - Timing/air Fuel Ratio

    Thanks Noobz, Ill pull the plugs tonight and check the gaps, I got a buddy that can pull codes for me and I will check that out as well. I did get a new set of Accel wires w/ a distributor cap. But like I said the car was in super poor mechanical condition before I got ahold of it. I think if...

    Nc89 - Rough Idle - Timing/air Fuel Ratio

    Thanks Noobz, Im sure I need it timed, I was unsure on weather or not to get it tuned though. The gaps came pre spaced as all NGKs should, ordered them specific to the year make and model but. When I first got the car I put in a sett of Motocrafts (same as what was in there) but I got them...

    Nc89 - Rough Idle - Timing/air Fuel Ratio

    Hey Stangnet readers, I got my 1989 5.0 LX here and after making a few minor swaps she seem to be idling a bit strange, but I don't think its to much to worry about just quite yet. In fact if I where less of a picky person... it probably would not bother me. But I am when it comes to my cars...

    Thanks fistang, Im actually thinking about going with a dark grey color scheme when its all said and done, but grey and red would like real nice in there now. :nice:

    My First Project Nc89 - 89 5.0 Notchback

    hey guys started my car today let it idle and it seems like its misfiring/running rough a little bit could just be that the timing is off.. the car will be idling fine then drop off for a quick second.. pick back up and shake a little bit. it did not do that before I made modifications above...

    My First Project Nc89 - 89 5.0 Notchback

    thanks for the quick response Blue I'll look into that Ford racing clutch a little bit more and I have heard of others using that maximum motorsports subframe connectors were very pleased I didn't think about the adjustable clutch snapping that's a good point though again I appreciate your feedback

    My First Project Nc89 - 89 5.0 Notchback

    Thanks Blue, like I said this is my first project but when it comes to things I invest time and money in I am a firm believer in looking before I leap. I had a year to research builds, common mods, common issues, reviews and forums like this one. (which by the way I came here a lot for research...

    Thanks for the heads up guys, this will save me some serious $$ when it come time to revamp that old interior. But I do want you opinion on something I will be taking care of a bit sooner then the interior. 1) When I get my transmission worked on (Family friend doing the work) I will have them...

    My First Project Nc89 - 89 5.0 Notchback

    Hey Noobz, Thanks for the heads up but I don't really know what you mean by dying? You mean the seats, dash and door panels? I do plan on re-doing the interior in black and grey leather(specifically the seats), somewhat similar to my '09 GT/CS. Re-use the seats themselves but not the...

    My First Project Nc89 - 89 5.0 Notchback

    I appreciate it Noobz, it took me a while to find what I was looking for but I stuck with it. It actually took me about a year to find something that was in decent condition, was pretty close to original and was reasonably priced. But as soon as I saw the Cold air set up on that car I knew it...
