Great day today

It was a great day today and an old customer showed up at the shop. He has a MUSTANG that we supercharged many many years ago. It was nice to see the car still running STRONG. It came back for fuel lines. They rotted out. The engine still runs strong and the boost is right on target. The customer put 70K on it and drove it all over the country and canada. Well i am over joyed at the results of this long lost car that came rolling in to our doors again. Just something i thought you would enjoy. We have to neaten it up a bit as many other shops must have been under this hood. WOW what a mess. But still made me feel great as the engine is still running strong. Thanks

Talk about old SCHOOL WOW!!!!!

please work on your picture taking skills, your pictures are really close and only show one thing mostly.  I'm not trying to spark a fire just asking.

It looks like great work, and I'd like to admire it properly, but it seems that the camera wasn't steady. Pity. Your distance was great, but digital cameras have zero tolerance for unsteady shooting platforms. If you get another opportunity, I'd love to see more shots of that car.

That was a long time ago JAY !!! I hate the fender mount coil and 2' coil wire. As you can see a shorter wire will be installed.

Looks to me a 94-95 5.0 Good to see her still running after 70k of boost.  You know what would be fun on that setup...shove some big injectors convert to E85 and up the boost...if the supercharger can produce more.
