I bought an abandoned Cobra Mustang with 850 horsepower! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fdtlnsaanKq0iKs.html

As a Ford mechanic when these were new, I always replaced the stator in the distributor along with the tfi module. One went bad the other is soon to follow. Easy job, just mark the rotor, pull the distributor, knock out the gear pin, pull the gear off, replace the stator, repeat, and good to go for another 50,000 miles. Trust me, you want to replace stator.

Your videos in the last 6-8 months have really been great and keep getting better. Recently subscribed and this is now my favorite channel

There's some dirt above the gas tank that no one will ever see....gets cleaned with glass cleaner and a microfiber. The windshield is so filthy you can barely see through it.... goes for a test drive without the tiniest swipe of a rag. Love it! ❤️

Peter has been such a great addition to the channel, really adds the humor and best buds energy to the content. Love his witty sense of humor and positive vibes in every situation.

I love this channel because when Alex has help from someone like Peter he still credits them for their ideas and you guys explain things well with humor.

As someone who has always been working on classic cars.. watching the joy followed by the repeated breakdowns is something all too relatable LOL. Thanks for the laughs guys. Keep up the solid work!

The sound of that Mustang brings back so many memories. When I was a senior in high school, my brother had a black 88 GT. He traveled a lot for work and the deal was, if I had to get up at 4am and take him to the airport, I got the car for the day.

Love the energy you guys give off! He’s not your mechanic, he’s your true friend !

I’m so happy that the kid was able to get a great deal on the Mustang and I think it’s really cool seeing you help him out with fixing some of its issues and teaching him some things along the way.It may not seem like a big deal to some people,but they don’t realize that just by you taking a little bit of your time to help someone else out is sometimes enough to help push that person in a direction that they might have never thought they would be able to do before and I think the world could definitely use more people like yourself.

Its nice to see someone actually maintenance these vehicles, instead of just "sending it" Good job guys.

peter has that happy energetic face and energy what a great dude to have around

You’re going to want to remove that TFI module and apply some electrical grease between the module and the distributor. Otherwise that module will fail soon. Definitely a great video and love this car and content

Good job guys. Next i would remove the rubber on the shifter stick and replace with washers. Then get a brass shifter ball cup. That would improve the feel of your shifts. Replace the steering shaft with a borges unit that gets rid of the rag joint, upgrade the clutch quadrant with a 2 position aluminum quadrant, adjustable clutch cable and sub-frame connectors. That would be a good start to improving the feel of the car. 💪

Shoutout to Max, always a savior for you and Peter! His hard work does not go unrecognized. I’ve been watching for years and I love how much this channel has grown! Perfect crew.

I'm loving this series! I have an 88 GT that I built in high school (25 years ago). I went through this same fuel system replacement scenario a few years ago. Parts are cheap and easy to find. One of the most impressive things, that you found tires for it! I'm in the middle of a 5 lug conversion because the 15" turbine wheels are nearly impossible to find performance tires for. I'm going to have 2003 brakes, 2003 cobra 17"s with 245/45r17s in the front and 275/40r17s in the back. I just got the wheels back from powder coat. They are 17x9 front and 17x10.5 rear.

Alex as a guy who likes boost you will appreciate the fact that 87-92 5.0 Mustangs came from the factory with forged pistons. They went to hypereutectic in 93. So this car has forged pistons in it. 👍🇺🇸

Not gonna lie this series makes me wanna get a foxbody

Can’t beat these videos! Your genuine love for this stuff is apparent and makes watching so entertaining. No normal viewer wants to see unrealistic projects, I hope the channel never strays from every day cars and situations.

I had this exact same problem with a mid 1980’s Crown Vic police interceptor that I bought used at a government auction. Once I was able to properly diagnose it and replace the sock in the tank I had no more problems.

This is by far my favourite series on this channel so far! I had an ‘89 5.0 with a manual and it was so much fun!

This reminds me of my teens and twenties. Couldn't afford newer cars, so we bought older stuff and fixed stuff as we went. No cell phones, but we carried tools in our cars. This was back in the 80s. Enjoyed the video Alex.

That was one of the most LEGIT Legit Street Car videos ! This are the things that leave us stranded, and very practical to see how you go about fixing them. In the middle of the street !! That was excellent. Greetings from Prague, CZ

Mama bird baby bird feeding ceremony 😂 Oh man, thanks for finding Peter, the chemistry between you 2 is perfect and keeps the LGS positive vibes and spirits counters at Max! Keep up the good work, we'll be here good days or bad. Can't wait for my (we're all a part:) channel to hit the 1million mark!.

Dude so impressed by your drive to get sudden problems fixed! I bet your customers love you! Long story short bad luck is everywhere and all times but your crew can turn that around fast, keep up the great work

Great video. Love the roadside problem solving. Calm, deliberate, good natured problem solving is what the world needs now:-)

Love to see how you love them all cars with so much passion and care...and patience, Alex. May the car-gods bless you..

Just found the channel and subscribed. I re wired the tfi module on my 89 and mounted it next to the airbox because they don't like heat lol. Never had a problem since. I love the content and look forward to more.

Not a mustang guy, but I like this series. It's so clean underneath, I really hope it is kept in a garage for the winter months, or it will rust out in no time.

That dirty windshield was killing me but now I understand you were waiting for detail video💪. Great video!!

These videos Inspired me to save for a Project car! Keep up the great work.

Wow. this is cetainly bringing back memories. Would love to find a foxbody to toss around again. They are slow by today's standards but could easily be modded into 10 sec cars without touching the block. Super light too for a car with that amount of torque.

Great content! I love how you chronicled the whole thing including not having a cell phone. I can see myself doing that. Way to roll with it and magnify the adventure as a flashback to simpler times; hitchhiking and knocking on strangers doors to use their phone. I still miss those days sometimes! You Peter & Max make a GREAT team!! Thank you!

Yes, the TFI Module on the Distributor left me stranded a good 3 times then 30-60 minutes later back to somewhat normal, there was a Class Action Lawsuit about this problem, get a Remote Heat Sink mounted aluminum block for the TFI Module!

See you at the car show. Keep up the awesome work.

I love how Alex buys cars and actually fixes them instead of buying ten cars and fixing none of them. 😁

$200 fuel tank is awesome, I look fwd to Sundays every week for another Alex adventure! Peter has turned into the ultimate sidekick, seems like such a cool guy to be around. I run a contracting business (concrete treatments and waterproofing), I also have a car buying company. Long story short I was at the doctor the other day and she was explaining to me that she had car issues, her engine was kaput! Skoda Superb Wagon 1.8tsi (like a long wheel base VW passat) she had bought it new. Mechanic told her the motor had skipped timing and essentially blown up, $10,000 for a new engine. Skoda sat at the mechanic with no plan, 1 owner 160,000km car. Owner asked me if I wanted it, I said why not, paid her and got it towed to my warehouse. I was planning on stripping it for parts. One of my waterproofing applicators is a mechanic from a former life and took a look under the bonnet, timing cover was still on etc, only thing missing were the oily plugs. Engine oil was also over filled by 4 litres (fouling the plugs)....you can guess what happened next. New plugs, drained some of the oil and it started right up. Thing drives beautifully. Sometimes you can't see the forrest for the trees!

Gotta love buff Peter always got a big smile on his face

Definitely put a timing light on there. With 93 octane you should be able to bump base timing up to 12 maybe 14 degrees. It does make a difference. Will be more responsive and have a few more hp.

Alex, just so you know Chris is a really good fiend (yes i dropped the r). Too funny that he drives by and does not stop!

Am really enjoying refreshing series like this!! The detailing follow up will cap this video perfectly.

This series makes me miss my old fox body. In high school I had the same exact car down to the color but no T tops. I bought it from a Mexican mechanic who was getting deported. He had added a secondary in line fuel pump, added a fancy ignition along with some other bits. The most obvious was it had no cats or mufflers. I think it had a cam but I can't confirm that. I used to take it to the drag strip on weekends, raced anything at a red light and basically tokyo drift every corner in 2nd gear. Man that car was a total vibe. The dirty interior had been stripped out, it would shake vigorously at a stop and smelled like fuel. It didn't have a radio because it was so loud you couldn't barely hold a conversation in there. My friends and I hit it a few times on the wall and I hit a tree on the street. Lol. It went thru some fenders and bumpers but the engine and trans we're the real MVPs, they asked for nothing. In the end I was convinced it was just an expensive hobby for me at the time. I do regret letting that car go. I'm excited to see how this turns out.

Haha I forgot about that blasted ignition module Mine went out on vacation luckily I was able to limp it into a Napa somewhere in Pennsylvania and changed it out right there. Still on the car runs very good. Don’t forget time it at ten degrees. Think you’ll like it

what an awesome find love that fox body style looks great still ttop is a bonus and manual ohh man

Keep the videos coming man the chemistry between both of you guys is like a pb&j sandwich soooo good 👍

Owned an 85 with t-tops, an 87, and a 93, and my wife had an 86. Love the fox body videos. Need to put 3:55 gears in it and subframe connectors.

To reduce the chance of a spark igniting the fumes from the tank, use a brass punch to loosen the locking tab. Glad everyone is safe and awesome vid AGAIN. You are gonna gain a lot of viewers if you continue foxbody content. Every day I check for the newest one from yoi guys.

It's so hard to decide between you and Sreten who is my favorite youtuber. It seems like it changes every time either of you posts. 🤣 Patiently waiting for that collab!

A tip for the TFI module- put some thermal compound on the back of it between the module and distributor. That'll prolong it by keeping the heat out of it. GMs with HEI ignition with the module in the bottom has the same issue

I cant wait to see this car washed and polished up driving good and doing burnouts.

"Every coil I've seen go bad, go gradually" NOPE. I had mine suddenly die in the Pontiac Fiero. It died in the road, and I pushed it into a parking lot while a couple cops in a Crown Vic watched me. I then walked home 2 miles in 90 degree heat. I drove another car to the Fiero, tested the fuel and saw it had no spark, went and bought a coil and installed it in the parking lot.

Great video again Alex. Turning on that Mustang in the middle of nowhere was like a soccer penalty in the last minute. Everybody enjoying.

Man you fellows bring back a lot of great! memories from when I grew up. I was always an IROC guy owned 6 different ones through the years but had a buddy who loved his mustangs those were days! Watching you guys really soothes my soul! Huge! shoutout from Calgary Canada 🇨🇦

I love Saturday mornings with LSC !!! ❤️

Peter must have been a CUTE kid ... .. he has that “I’m a cute kid” pose down perfect. Can you see him 4 years old stand in that pose .. I’m a cute kid!

This is the best Mustang channel on KZfaq! keep up the good work!

I had a 97 Chevy Blazer and was on a road trip from Philadelphia, to NY, and while on the turnpike doing about 80, I started to loose power, in fact, the harder you hit the pedal the more power you would loose, and the check engine light came on and flashing. while driving I grabbed my trusty OBD-II scanner and managed to get it plugged in. and started to pull the codes, at this point I'm now doing about 50, and still slowing, and decided to reset the codes and see if it helps, well it did, and the truck came back to normal and didn't have the issues the rest of the trip

Alex your videos are great, but Peter makes them so much better!

I love your videos. These Mustang videos in particular have given me an appreciation for the foxbody Mustangs that I never had before.

I had an 88 GT when I was 16. Thanks for this video series. Brings back a ton of fantastic memories.

Eli, this was a great find for what you paid. And fox body parts are relatively cheap and plentiful. Nice job. As for the longest running generation of car, the C3 Vette went from 1968-1983 (1982 technically, but since new C4 was an '84 model, I'll claim 1983). I have a '74 Stingray convertible, prefer this body style to the C3 coupes, until 1978 at least. Side note - the Chevy square body pickup ran from 1973-1987...

Soon as you started talking about replacing the ignition module and coil, I had visions of needing a 5.5mm nutdriver. GMs use the same size! It's a real lifesaver. Cheers!

You're a real friend... love what you're doing for this kid!!

Huge CONGRATS on 750K subs! Well deserved! #roadtoamillion

Peter : "SAVE IT, SAVE IT!" Alex "Aight, aight" 😂😂😂 omg this video is just gold 😂

The suburban has to be up near the top of longest production models. I remember 60's models and they are still produced today. Love the videos. I have been trying some of your restorative techniques and I am really excited with the results. Paint, upholstery, electronics, etc. Thanks for the DIY vids, they have saved me lots of $$.

Just recently subscribed to your channel man. Love watching these “first start and drive” videos. Been binge watching all your videos the past week

The Volvo 200 Series (or 240 and 260 Series) was a range of mid-size cars produced by Swedish company Volvo from 1974 until 1993, with more than 2.8 million total units sold worldwide The.Volvo Halifax Assembly Plant was one of the assembly plants used for the assembly the 200 series. That is 20 years of production of the same car model. I realy love your videos Alex!

Been watching your videos for a while but as a previous mustang owner i’ve really enjoyed this series. Love the channel, hope you keep wrenching on cars like this for the average person unlike other car KZfaqrs that with a bit of success end up buying exotics.

I really miss my Foxbody, so much fun to drive. It was stolen in 2005 and hopefully it's on a racetrack somewhere tearing it up. Was never able to find a basket case to replace it. Goodtimes!

That was pretty cool hearing you mention my comment from your other video about the 1987-1993 power ratings lol! When you mentioned that, I'm like that was my comment lol! Pretty cool. As mentioned in a comment below, it was lowered to 205 HP for '93, not 215 HP... 1994 was rated at 215 HP. 1987-1992 was 225 HP though. Great videos guys! 🍻

Man I love Peter, the dude has a personality. His humor. Dam!

Maybe it's cause I owned an 85 and 93 Fox Body back in the day. But I am really enjoying this series of videos. I truly miss my 93 LX 5.0. Bought it brand new the month the next gen Mustangs were being released. I have few regrets in life and selling that car is one of them. Great content as always. Thanks Alex, Peter and Max!

I love your videos Alex! Me and my 2 year old son love watching your videos on Saturday mornings!

Hello from France! I really enjoyed this problem solving video. I hope there'll be a lot more like this one . Cheers!

My favourite series on YT right now, you guys are awesome, I love all the troubleshooting

Great video. Loved hearing the caprice idle even if only for a split second 🤣 Very excited to see it detailed up. Can't wait

Past 2 videos I’ve thought “nice, finally get to see what that paint is lookin like, and how far a resto detail will take this thing.” But sadly, nope haha then the ending was such a tease 😂😩 I already know this foxbody is going to make such a massive turnaround after that initial scrub clean/sand/buff/&polish

Good stuff . I’ve always loved these cars . I was born in 74 so I was a teenager when these cars were a hot item . I love your passion for cars 💪.

Man such a joy seeing such scary failures being fixed affordability by finding the actual culprit. Most of us will be death in the water accepting our fade with the shop’s recommendations for a new engine. You definitely give hope to the car world !!! Great series saying that as a corvette guy😂

As a blue collar worker there's nothing more satisfying then a good old challenge to go faster lol

Love the look and sound of a foxbody..been a fan of the exhaust..but doubtful to own one..but its pretty wild how you've already done so much and made it all look too too easy..good luck hero and wishing success and will wait to see how she turns out

Aww man those burnouts bring back some good memories. I had a 91 GT two tone silver. A very nice car

Hey Alex and Peter, great channel, great videos keep up the good work. GM's W-body was a very long running platform, from 87-2016 that's 30 years. Great platform, built alot of cars off it, monte carlo, grand prix, impala, regal etc. Almost like the fox body with the mustang, montego, thunderbird, mark vii etc. Yes it had updates along the way, but the chassis is more or less the same for 30 years, only major thing was the addition of an aluminum front subframe in like 06 or around there. Keep wrenchin'!!

Really enjoying this series and looking forward to seeing what's under all that dirt. Your videos are just getting better and better. Also, what was the rust converter you used, I could really use that at the moment

These last videos makes me wanna see you guys do some performance mod videos with this. Dyno as is, then bolt-ons, then heads and cam. E85 and turbo at the end. Would be an awesome series to see what a stock fox can go to

The fact that his friend Chris asked was he ok without stopping is HILARIOUS. I guess - he still asked.

Love the series of videos. When I was teenager I always wanted a Mustang like this.

Head to keeps.com/legit for 50% off your first order of Keeps hair loss treatment!

Common Ford problems even when they were relatively new. Good idea to replace the old stuff anyway.

That Fiji Blue Conquest Tsi is making me nostalgic. I owned 13 StarQuests from 1992-2007. I really wish I could find a deal on one like I used to because I usually bought them for about $500-$1000 with a blown headgasket.

Hey, I had a 87 Iroc that had many problems. Then when to a 91 Mustang GT. It was the most reliable performance car I ever had until it got stolen. It a fun car to modify.

I can’t wait to see what you guys do with the paint and interior detail work 👍

Seeing how eli came up on a classic like this has really got me motivated to get back in the fox body game again. I've had a number of fox bodies but this one is different and won't see it alot.

Really enjoying the series on this car. Such fun to watch. The banter and comradeship you guys have is so watchable.

Loving it man, super awesome series on this so far! Can't wait for the next.

Hey, Alex. Looking forward to the first clean of the stang!

It's amazing how quickly I went from no cell phone to don't leave home without it.

Man this brings back memories! I had an 89 Fox Body 5.0 LX! It was built though! It had a cam, headers, straight cat back exhaust, cold air intake & a B&M slap shifter. She was fun to drive!

Every time you drop a vid I watch it thru 😂 you explain diagnosing stuff very well
