New Guy kinda owner

Gregski · March 14th, 2010, 01:52 PM

Hi all,

OK so I am getting into cars and since I can not afford a Mustang, I did the next best thing... I bought a 302 engine with an automatic transmission and it just so happened to be from a 1975 Mustang II (or so I think).

The goal is to try to get it to run outside the car. All that's missing is the starter solenoid (relay), ignition module, and a bit of wiring harness.

I hope to buy some basic gauges at Harbor Freight and get some readings.

I can do basic things on cars, but I want to learn what it takes to start an engine, do the timing, tune the carburator, etc... I don't really care for all the SMOG crap and hope to remove it.

Will turn to you guys/gals for help I'm sure,
Greg

You probably wont get much help in this section. I see the last thread was started in Nov 2009.
