I'm new to this so I hope you get this, but I would chech the ignition module...it's happened to me a couple of times over the years with my tbird. 88tbird_mn
I'll second this.Ford has always had trouble with the TFI modules. :ies:
alright, i looked up both flexplates in the allmighty advance auto website, the flexplates have the same diameter, same pitch, same teeth, but are still different, leaving only the balance to make up the difference
Here you say they are same diameter, if they are in fact the same, you could use the 5.0 bellhousing. :)
Thanks, sorry no new pics, been going kinda slow for awhile. (hint hint $$$$$) :) Yea I was thinking of an older console, but the two I have are missing some of the tabs that the trim fastens to. You wouldn't beleive how hard it is to find the XR7 horn button!! Been looking for a long, long time. Then one day walking around the junkyard and spot a Cougar, go over and check it out, and it's what's left of an 88 XR7. (mind you, not much left) look inside and whoo hooo the Cougar horn button :) :) , so I grab the dash trim, taillights and the elusive horn button. Completely made my day!!!
