A few questions?
 
Ok I'm 17 years old and I have stepped up to the plate buying myself my own Mustang, a 1990 5.0 LX, with the 5-speed transmission and 90,000 miles. I finally have my own that I paid for after driving my parents mint 1996 GT for the past 2 years. Anyway, It's time to get started. First question, I'm gonna throw some new plugs in it, what do you guys recommend? I'll be installing them in along with a set of MSD wires. Second question, I want to get a new clutch and I think I'm going to go with the FRPP clutch, but if I cant install it myself, how much do you think I'm looking at for installation? Finally, I have a check engine light that comes on occasionally and only during acceleration. As soon as my foot is off the gas, the light turns off. Any ideas? Thanks guys.

I have always used motorcraft plugs, or autolites, dont use platinums.

I just installed a king cobra clutch, in place of my frpp hd, in which i paid 240$ to have installed (labor) it was crap, this time i installed the kk clutch in my driveway, the pressure plate on the king cobra has a better geometry, thats easier to push in, but same throwout bearing, and disc, i like it.

Change you 02 sensors to fix the check engine light, or try reseting the computer.

Is you car a hatchback or notch? enjoy the pony:)

Coupe, Why not platinums?
Antwaan, WELCOME, Hope you get it right.

Thanks for the welcome guys. Yeah I was wondering why not platinum too??? My mom always run Bocsh Platinums on her '96 GT. I'm gonna go with the regular Autolites I think. I know this is a dumb question, but do I have to gap them or if they are the ones for my engine will they be fine as is? I really know more about cars/engines then it may seem, I'm just wondering what the deal is with the plugs? Thanks
