Here is my current project, my 89 PGT. I got it for very cheap but it would not even turn over. I found some hacked alarm wiring to blame for that but even after fixing that it still would not start. After changing everything from coil, plug wires, disty cap, ignition module, and spark plugs to redoing the timing belt and double checking the time it still would not start. I ended up setting everything to TDC and, with the disty cap off, noticed the rotor pointing to the #3 wire, not #1. I put the rotor on so that it points to the #1 and she fired up!

Doing what I do best

After a while the car decided it didn't want to rev up past about 1500rpm or so. This problem stumped me. We tried ALOT to figure this one out with no success. So the car sat and sat. Until my friends convinced me to put the SDS which was intended for my FE3 swap on the stock F2T. Why not? Until I get the money to start my swap I'm going to mess around with the stock motor.

A 1st gen this clean deserves a standalone EMS :P

The only rust I found on the car. I sanded it for about 10 minutes

I've decided to go the megasquirt route with distributorless ignition (Ford EDIS) Since you have experience with your own Stand-alone do you mind throwing a little advice my way?

How satisfied are you with your sds? I did some research on it last year but everyone shot it down. Then my car shot to hell. Now it runs again and I think I'll drive to save my mustang. Plus it's got a lot of character hell ya
