New to the world of Mustang's and need help with all word and abbreviation of word concerning mustangs. Does anyone have a mustang for dummies manual or can help a newbie out

what year is your stang? stang as in mustang,5.0 means you have a five liter motor. T5 means you have a 5 speed manual, AOD means you have a automatic transmition. hope this help you a little

Just stick around @ Mustang Works farrin.

Being a little more specific:
T5 = Tremec 5 (manual)
AOD = Automatic overdrive (automatic)
C4 and C6 are also automatics

'79 Mustang Coup
4" Cowl
Weld wheels (15x6;15x8)
Stock 5.8L
C4 w/ shift kit
1.5" MAC full length headers
Holley 750 CFM
Edelbrock intake
2.5" Off road H-pipe
8.8" Rear end w/ 2.73:1 gears (sucks!) (awaiting installation of 3.55s)
Front: 225/60/15 Rear: 255/60/15 Eagle GT II
Sucky Purolator air filter that's choking my car.

tb= throttle body
mas= mass air sensor(maf, same thing)
190 lph= 190 liters per hour(fuel pump)
fmu= fuel management unit(for blowers)
There really are quite a few, just ask. We'll tell you.

A few more...

SD=speed density
IAB=idle air by-pass
WOT=wide open throttle
TPS=throttle positioning sensor
TQ=torque
when someone writes "3.73's or 2.73's or 4.10's", they are referring to the gear ration of the rear end.

There are many more, but I can't recall 'em right now. If some of these are really obvious to you, I'm not trying to patronize you, but I don't know your level of experience. Feel free to ask if you have any questions.

By the way, welcome to Mustang Works....without a doubt the best site on the internet for late model mustang performance.

See. I even learned something. Thanks NoSlow5.0. (but what does the "T" in "T5" stand for?)
