Me and my buddy are putting a carbed 5.0 in his 87 Turbo Coupe but we have a couple problems.


The motor mounts, what cars can the brackets be used from?? Cause Advanced only sells the rubber mount,no brackets and the bone yards arent exactly flush with 87-88 5.0 T-Birds

Wiring, does anyone have a diagram to get his gauges and lights working??

Mounts are 87-88 t-bird only.
As far as wiring goes you really need to get an evtm off of ebay.
That will tell you the wire colors and every connectors pin outs.

why would you say that?

the whole evtm resides here,,, http://www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com/showthread.php?t=20492
with all the wiring for the 87.

youngone- just go to the link and double click each diagram.
save as a bmp file.  open it with paint, save as a jpg.

for some reason people cant figure out how to get the images to come out clear to thier liking but you can work around that, the info is there.
for better quality images,, just simply click on my diy link below and there will be a ton of wiring diagrams there as well.

Im really not sure why people keep saying we dont have wiring diagrams other than on ebay.,, thats bad information dominator

I see that i do need to rescan page 105

I switched a Fuel injected T-Bird to carb. After I learned out the trick on making a 40 psi pump to deliver 6.5 psi to the carb, the ignition was a piece of cake.

It had a roller cam 302, so we had to get a 1985 Mustang GT distributor from Advance auto. I just had to tap into the 12 v from the original coil and used an MSD Blaster 2 coil. :D
