are you referring to the 94 Mustang GT under your name? or do you have a 94 V6 Mustang too? If youre talking about the GT, you may want to have a mod move it to the right section...

V6 - 3.8L v6 Engine with no emblems other than Ford and Tribar Mustang.
GT - 4.6L V8 Engine with GT Emblem on the back and sides.

Very easy to tell a V6 from a GT by looking at the engine and rear bumper. GTs have dual exhaust and cuts for the exhaust unless its been modified. V6s have single exhaust and no cutout... unless its been modified.

V6 engine has a stick ontop of the radiator fan that says 3.8L V6. Don't know about the GTs.

If you are having heating probs, and you replace the thermostat try this:
  1. Disconnect the bottom radiator hose and flush the radiator with water
  2. Reconnect bottom radiator hose after flushing
  3. Replace all engine coolent, check Resivor for leaks
  4. Make sure all coolent hoese (ones connected to the radiator) are tight and without dry rotting.

If your still having probs after this, take it to a shop and have them check it out.

Count your spark plugs .. if theres 6 you have a sixxer if theres 8 you dont. make sure this is in the right section before trying to get a answer that might not even pertain to your car.

Thats for the new edges...The SN95 GT's dont have exhaust cut outs in the bumper. The exhaust tips hang right below the bumper
