Remember to do all the basics first.
1) Pull plugs and make certain they are clean.
2) Clean the rotor tip and the cap spark points.
3) Fuel injector cleaner in the gas tank
4) One tank of 104+ high octane booster (assists in cleaning injectors)
All of these minor details will make a huge difference.

Good Luck and have fun

of course. last time i was home i changed all the plugs and wires so thats done. i just hope the brakes are still good cause when i tried to replace em on my truck i kept finding more and more wrong with em so opefully it will be an easier fix on the stang. im pretty siked to finally test it out. and maybe try again to get my folks to sell it. lol

i know the feeling. when i did the rears on my mustang i discovered a leaking axle seal, which lead us to sludge for rear end fluid and a chewed up spyder gears in my diff. fun times huh

[VP_07SRT8]

you cant buy a kit like cobra r or something? (sorry dont know too much bout fox's or any style besides mine)

 

[Mustangcwo]

Yes, i already installed a bunch of COBRA stuff under my hood. I thought you meant trading for a newer model....LOL!!

 

[VP_07SRT8]

lol no no no i wasnt sure about the brakes if you could upgrade i was bout to say wtf kind of **** is that lol

 

[Young Guns]

my dad took a peek at the brakes and there are none. so he's been using the hand brake. i told him to not drive it till i come home and see if i can fix it. i dont want him to screw it up. lol and he will if hes anything like me with a car that has power. lol

 

[Young Guns]

i love to see how far i can push em. lol.

 

[VP_07SRT8]

omfg r u crazy better fix that!

 

[Young Guns]

im gonna when i get home. which might be sooner than i thought i got orders to norfolk. 4and a half hours from home. so this project might get done sooner than i thought. but i'll represent wicked stangs on the east coast.

 

[VP_07SRT8]

[Young Guns]

I would seafoam it.... change cap, rotor and spark plug wires, those all go bad with age! drain fuel tank, You dont want to run any of that 8 year old gas, it can destroy your fuel system and that will cost a pretty penny...

 

[VP_07SRT8]

sea foam ftw easy try to fix

 

[Young Guns]

i already syphond the tank and and added stabilizer to the new fuel to offset the little the syphon couldnt get.

 

[Young Guns]

now, heares a question ive gotten both suggestd. which would be better, a turbo or a supercharger? i want to beef up the 302 as much as possible if my mom sells it to me.
