My First Mustang

dubbs24 · 10-13-2003, 09:54 PM

I'm new to the fourm so I dont know if this is in the right place. I got a car off ebay from a guy in my state and I want to know what year parts I need, here is a link to the auction http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2433332798

it is a 82 body but it has a 89 302 in it, so what year parts do I need for it 82 or 89. Also the speedo is broken does anyone know where I could get a custom gauge cluster for a 82 I've looked almost everywhere and cant find one, thank you for reading my post.

it all depends on what type of parts because of the difference between fuel injected and carburated cars. as for the gauge, just get an aftermarket speedo, like an autometer.

Yeah, give us a list of what parts you want. Some stuff will be the same. It just depends

Hey congrats!

Hope it works out for you! Mustang's are, by far, the funnest cars I've ever driven!

Nice looking car. Its good to see people keeping the 82's and fixing them up. You dont see too many of them around anymore. But as for parts pretty much every engine part is interchangable except for some of the valvetrain.
