will a 1991 lx distributor (v8) work in a 1995 gt?i realize the difference for the coil on the unit vs non but other than that will it function the same? the re4ason i ask is i have a new unit here and i think that mine is not working right. so if all i need to do is grind off a small part and it will work then i'll try it. i just don't want to hook it up and ruin something else.

the distributor in the v8 thunderbird is the same unit. i can't figure out this car.It started running like this last fall.i thought that it was just a bad vacumn leak. then my head gaskets went. so i pulled the motor.went through the entire motor.i had a 91 motor here with 70000 miles on it out of a lx.i took that block and swapped everything over from the 95 block. all trickflow. h/c/i. put in all new sensors,some twice now,all new hoses. totally cut out the egr.even though the sct chip i have had it turned off. i plugged the back of the heads. then sealed the elbow on the intake permanently. there are no leaks.i even bought one of the plugs to turn off the egr just in case.now evreything having to do with the egr is gone.i finally replaced the distributor from it with a known go running unit.last summer this thing ran so good.it got 34 mpg on the highway,it ran 12,s in the quarter mile. now i can't even get it to run long enough to bring my son to school. it runs great for 5 min.then it goes to shit. still doing the same thing it did last fall. it's as if something turns on and then it dies.i have checked everything, and rechecked everything. even the harmonic balancer.so i guess what else is there that turns on after 5 min?I'm missing something.i can hear the click sometimes while i'm under the hood. my car has bbk long tubes on it with flowmaster 3 chamber mufflers with an x pipe they dump in front of the rear. so trying to locate a "click" under the hood while it is running is almost impossible.up to that point it runs great. then the click. arg very frustrating. anyone ever run across this?

Check the connection of the chip on your j3 port could be losing its connection? Thats what I'm going through anyways...

so have u replaced the dizzy recently? i'm confused on the progression. it could be the pip sensor inside the dizzy, or a million other things. def could be connection problem with the chip. check the easy stuff first.
the fox dizzy and sn dizzy have completley different electronic hook ups. the fox has the ignition module on the dizzy itself, the sn has it remotly mounted on the inner fender.

If you're running a distributor with the ignition control module mounted to the body, it won't run right no matter how you hook it up. It will need a nasty tune and some excellent wiring to get it dialed in properly. Plug and play, no way. Just put a 94-95 distributor in it. What's your reasoning for running the non specific distributor? Which ICM is hooked up? The one on the distributor or the one on the fender? If you're in need of a 94-95 5.0 oem distributor in good shape, PM me. I'll make you a good deal on it. Good luck with it man, keep us updated.

i need to get a new diz
well the distributor i put in was a good one. no change. co i studied the chilton/haynes again. this time i went after the eec system. i unplugged the purge canister regulator.and then i pulled off the vac line from under my intake and plugged it. crossed my fingers and strarted it up. it ran perfectly,for 5 min. then something clicked on over by the drivers side of the engine compartment. what it was i haven't found yet. when this comes on the car shuts down. then i have to floor the gas pedal to get it to start again, but it runs horrible. very rich and won't idle at all. now i have to wait again and start it up later tonight. then try to hear for the "click" again. what a pain......this growing very old.i don't see anything that is over there that would do that.you don't hear it in the car. only when you are outside. you can feel it when your inside. the change in the car is what i meant.by the time i get done i could buy a new mustang. we'er talking 2011. with all ofg the new parts that i'm putting in.

Give some details on how it runs. do you best to describe how it sounds, feels etc. because when your saying it runs like crap what do you mean? Have you checked your ignition coil?
Edit: Have you checked your fuel pump solenoid?

Edit:http://www.mustang-tech.org/wiki/94-95_Mustangs_Electrical_CCRM
The fuel pump relay is built inside the ccrm, its that module that is attached to your radiator reservoir bracket, I'm thinking your ccrm is bad.
it could be any one of the solenoids inside the ccrm, to test the ccrm go to the following website above. If you want to just get another one and try it go to your local junk yard or try craigslist, ford wants $160 for them.

i'm considering going carb. does anyone make a 3 x2barrel setup for the 302? this fuel injection crap is driving me crazy. the ccm was replaced with one off of a low miles cobra.thanks for the info. i'll fight with it somemore on monday.
so today i took it all apart.(the intake) come to find out that the black gasket sealer i put on was done wrong. massive leak. ok so i fixed that problem.put it all back together with everything checked and rechecked. made sure that there were no vac leaks. all tubes if there was a doubt it got replaced. set the timing at 14 degrees. fired it up . well i tried to anyway. it just cranked. so i pulled the dist again. went and did the number 1 plug wire ect. still all it did was pop. just for grins i pulled the mass air flow sensor. it started right up. it idled at 1000 rpm. but very rich. so i plugged in the mas, it made no difference as to how it ran. does that mean that my mas is junk. i pulled it apart and cleaned it i can't see any broken wires nor was it dirty. but i cleaned it anyway. my next question is can i run a stock cobra mas with my combo? all trickflow with 70mm throttle body and 24 lb injectors? or should i just go out and buy the one from lmr. 76mm bbk for 24lb injectors. I'm not sure how big the one i have on it now is. all i know isit is a Graniteli unit. set for 24lb injectors. there is no markings on this unit other than the name. what do you guys think?
could this have been the problem all along? it has been running different since the power tour last year.I just wrote it off to bad head gaskets. since nothing else has worked. not any of the sensors nor the distributor i don't see anything wrong with the harmonic balancer but then i don't see anything wrong with the mas either.are there any tests that i can run on the mas short of just replacing it?

the cobras and every other ford is set up for whatever injectors in the computer. an aftermarket maf calibrated for 24s has a different sized sample tube to trick the maf, so no a cobra maf will not work.
when u set timing r u pulling the spout out? if not pull the spout and set it to 10*

yes i pull the sprout out. i set mine at 14. that is where the tune is set up for. however i just talked to a guy today. he said if i pull my chip out i can run it off of the computer. is that right? then what is the reason for the tune? besides shutting off the egr. which i have done another way. i think that i'll tebuild my distributor tomorrow? thats 27.00 verses 89.00. why is it that i hear a hissing sound from the right side of the motor.back by the end of the fuel rial i can hear a type of hgissing. but there is no evidence of anything leaking. It's sounds like it is coming from the right side fule rail. no mstter how
