.....

yes but you shouldn't have let it get so dusty dirty anywho.

And wassup with those breakfast tacos on the battery?

Usually the cleaners say to cover sensitive electrical parts like the alternator, distributor and engine computer or relay boxes.....etc...

[GlobeSpotter]

the battery terminals aren't sensitive and best washed off after a good spray of the cleaner.

then....the next day....sprayed with protectant.

especially fords and their crappy lead free clamps.

You should get on to her about not covering her distributor.

[TryWeakly]

I could, but she would be looking for that for days....

Brooke, get a timing gun and check the points..

[GlobeSpotter]

She has no state i.d. card so she'll need a feeler gauge or dwell meter to set the gap.

I looked real good and couldn't find a lot of that stuff. I am now convinced my car has no alternator.

Where is my distributor in the picture?

For the record ... I did ask the geniuses at Auto Zone what the do's and don'ts were beforehand, so I am confident I got the best advice available, only second to You Tube tutorials.

Actually the 5.0 Mustang platform is a great platform for performance parts. I always used http://www.americanmuscle.com/ for my parts.

I had a 2013 auto Mustang GT and was able to run 12.7's right off the showroom floor. With some minor bolt on options, I was able to hit high 11's. This is the quarter mile.

I'm not sure if your car has a warranty, however this tune could terminate your drive train (engine, transmission, rear end) warranty.

Is your car auto or manual?

Here is what I would suggest for a pure stock Mustang. The Bama tune is pretty safe and simple and they will give you a choice of 87, 91, and 93 octane tunes. The customer service of American Muscle, Bama, and Diablo is great and very helpful. Naturally the 93 tune is the most aggressive, however you really need to use 93 octane gas with this tune. Since I drive a GM, I've studied up on the diablo tuner, and according to the people of diablo, the tune is untraceable, however I can't personally vouch for this.

But what do I know.. I probably know way too much about this topic

Thanks for your thoughts guys. My car is a 6 speed. I would love to add some up grades sometime this year. I first need to get a 2ed car, that way I can put this one in the shop. I don't have a TDL so renting a car for a few days is out of the question and of course there is no way I can go without a car.

If you swap the old flux capacitor out, it will run better on the gyno, er, dyno.

Be sure to use a 1000uf version. Nothing smaller.
