What the hell have I gotten myself into?
This is my `92 Mustang GT, as it sits right now.
It's a mostly stock strong runner, with ~80k original miles.
My uncle bought it back in '04 to have something to play with, and immediately added the following mods:
BBK ceramic-coated 1 5/8" long tube headers
Hi-flo catted H-pipe
Flowmaster American Thunder two chamber 3" catback exhaust
3.73 gears
Pro-5.0 shifter
After playing with it for awhile, he turned it over to me, being that he's the greatest guy on earth, and I was carless. As far as I'm concerned, it's our car.
At that point, the speedo was busted, and rather than try to find a working unit at the junkyard, I opted to blow ~$500 on the Nordskog Digital Dash unit. What can I say, I'm still a 'Knight Rider' fan.
Before installing the Nordskog kit, we put on some Accel 300+ 8.8mm wires, to reduce RF interference w/ the digital gauges.
The Nordskog install began on a weekend in August of '05, and has not yet been completed as of March '07. The hell you say? No, I'm serious.
First was hurricane Rita, which delayed the project a bit. Then came the health problems, both on my uncle's part and my own. It sat, untouched, in the driveway, until a couple weekends ago.
As of now, there's just the matter of connecting a wire from the speed-sensing unit on the transmission, and buttoning everything back up.
I also opted to add on a DIY LED shift-light using a Summit RPM activated switch. This will plug the hole in the gauge panel where the tripometer reset switch used to reside.
