I've never heard one good thing about those distributors.. TFI modules are like $45 at vatozone. I would try a new one in your car and if it still doesn't start then just take the TFI back and say its the wrong one or something. Try to do it in the same day though.

heres what shes gonna look like pretty much finished in the bay, just tryin to get it fired up now. i'll prolly tidy up some of the wiring once i know it runs.

92twotone · September 30th, 2009, 01:04 AM

thats my buddy jay controlling the throttle and keeping the timing in the right spot. im the idiot with the camera who gets all excited at ~43 seconds. i have sooo many exhaust leaks, sounds like open headers even when the whole exhaust is up there. hope to get a better video tomorrow when i get the car on the ground. im really surprised at how well its running though with how much shit got changed/unplugged/deleted. so excited right now, changin the oil, a cam break in tomm, some misc wiring problems i.e. my electric fan, and then takin her for a test ride. thanks for all the help and compliments, its all been motivation, and now its finally runnin again.

baine21225 · October 3rd, 2009, 10:50 AM

makes it all worth it doesn't it?

1sl0w88 · October 3rd, 2009, 12:59 PM

Hell yeah! I'm excited for you!

92twotone · October 3rd, 2009, 03:04 PM

thanks guys...i just want to go drive the thing soo bad. gotta be patient though and get everything right first. now i need to buy a new exhaust, mac longtubes, dr gas 3" x pipe, and spintech pro streets are in my near future.

RetroGT2006 · October 3rd, 2009, 03:21 PM

Car is amazing!! I went through all the pages and damn bro i give you credit! I want one of those stangs so damn bad! Sounds killer dude!!

92twotone · October 3rd, 2009, 03:31 PM

thanks man. appreciate the compliments. it should sound wayyy meaner with a new exhaust that doesn't leak. sell that 06 of yours, you could buy a NASSTY fox with what you'd sell that thing for.

Id pick a brand other than Mac, unless you want your headers to be far less quality than the other parts used in your build, and i've found that if you do a header/midpipe combo from the same manufactuer they tend to fit a bit nicer

92twotone · October 3rd, 2009, 05:12 PM

i really cant spend like 7 or 8 hundred dollars on headers right now though. it sux but i think for now it'll be either mac or bbk...one of the cheapies just to hold me over until i can get some stainless works or hookers or hedmanns. we'll see though, i have a tendecy to just swipe my card and worry about payin for it later. its worked out well so far haha.

Trick Tuners · October 3rd, 2009, 06:10 PM

Nice job! That is some great work! Any true car guy will appreciate all the hard work that went into that.

neverfastenough1 · October 3rd, 2009, 09:24 PM

Nice job. Looks and sound sic. I wish I had the patience to do something like that. I think I have ADD like that other guy. Onetime I walked outside to go somewhere and my car is on jackstands. Then I remembered I was rotating the tires. Sooooo, I got staggered rims to avoid that happening again. Lol.

baine21225 · October 4th, 2009, 07:13 PM

I'd take BBK over Mac

Really?? I am about to purchase MAC LT's and O/R Prochamber for my 2006 GT. I have heard a bunch of people running them and love them. I wanted Kooks but $1180 is a lot of money.

baine21225 · October 4th, 2009, 07:39 PM

I Don't know the quality and fitment on newer Mustangs, but myself and several other members on here can attest to the poor fitment, warping after a few heat cycles, and basically rusting over night
