You may want to try replacing the TFI ignition module. Like the above post said, you could have weak spark outside the cylinder but not good enough under pre...

If the dist rotor is at the #1 contact when the engine is @ TDC, your base ignition timing is retarded. (By at least 10*)

They're Garrett turbos, but I'm not sure if the compressor/turbine housings from the later EFI T3's would swap onto the center section. Been 25+ years since I messed with one.

Are you trying to use one of those turbos in a different application, or in stock form?

Drilling and tapping that hole in the head is perfectly fine. If you are concerned about any potential oil leaks, just add a bit of thread sealant,

My bad, N/A mustang harness. and ill un plug that MAP sensor!

The MAP should be open to atmosphere, not plugged. (The BAP and MAP are basically the same sensor, but the MAP is connected to the engine, and the BAP is open to atmosphere).
What "stock Ford harne...

No idea what the codes are off-hand.
Do you have a hose connected to the BAP sensor? The 1987 2.3NA used a MAP sensor with a hose connected to it. The turbo cars used a BAP sensor, that looks the s...

Looking for a 33mm (1-5/16") "GT" front bar and one of the 20-21mm GT rear bars.
Would also accept one of the larger 25-27 SN-95/NewEdge rear bars.
Let me know what you have.
Thanks!

Ergo, if you wanna give the computer the most accurate temp reading, you COULD gut the plenum-heating "chamber" from yer manifold and fab/weld an aluminu...

Yeah. I think ours was dead-headed at the carb, and was using one of the low-pressure lift pumps in the tank.
We didn't have the car long enough for me to fiddle with it too much, as the fuel syste...

I would think any of the smaller in-tank lift pumps would be more than fine for this. As Ray mentioned, unless your whole assembly is corroded/toast, just replace the pump itself.

I did mean to say that, because they are in fact 3" shorter, The main reason why I did the lower shock adapter brackets all those years ago. You mentioned using Heath's shock brackets, which are my ol...

Since you're running coil-overs, it shouldn't matter, as long as your suspension has enough droop and the shocks are long enough.
The stock TBird shocks are about 3" shorter than the Mustang ones, ...

I guess I also didn't upload the finalized pic of the set-up with the circuit protection on power to the MS unit.

That is the same vintage of MS that I've been running in the TBird since '06. I did the FTDI USB-DB9 conversion on that one too when I got tired of my in-line serial to USB adapter constantly giving m...

Yeah, they won'...

No notes on the other stuff, but don't toss the motor mounts from your NA 2.3. You'll need those to install the TC motor into the car.

So, I decided to use it. It's actually going to make my conversion pretty easy, when it comes down to it.
