I think I have to add the vss

All right! You've got it mobile! That's a big step in the right direction. Don't be pushing those Mustangs around too bad at the stop lights.

Get anywhere yet sorting the VSS and cutting out momentarily under load?

[r.e.c.enthusiasts]

Nope. Have not purchased it yet....

[r.e.c.enthusiasts]

Okay.... So i still have not purchased the vss. However. Ive got my fuel guage verified. (was working. Just not enough fuel which lead to another issue.) and its not shutting off. So ive taken it to put some fuel in. Its driving... But its a little off at take off.not enough go at a stop. Dont know bout hills or anything. No codes yet either!

Great that you're at this stage. I'm chuckling at your fuel/fuel gauge situation. ("You're out of gas, man," it's saying, and you're thinking, "What's wrong with this dumb gauge?") Nobody else ever has problems like that, least of all me, you know. Rrright! Maybe the initial timing could be advanced, a couple of degrees at a time, to address the take off concern. No codes is usually a good thing, but sometimes you wish for one to tell you what's wrong. Some years/makes with cable driven speedometers mounted the VSS at the speedometer, others with electronic speedometers put the VSS in the trans where the speedo cable, formerly used, was installed. I don't know what 91 Astrofaris did, but a parts lookup in the Rock Auto website would be informative.

I see in the Rock listings that the 91 Astro used what looks like the trans mounted VSS. I don't know what it reads inside the trans, but my first guess is that it's probably a rotor that clips onto the output shaft where the drive gear for the cable speedometer would be on your trans. Fairly straightforward, once the driveshaft is out, to remove the tail shaft housing and "reveal all." Might be a good time to add a transmission shop guy to your "support group." There's a catch term for that... oh yeah, your "network."

Exactly!!! I was testing ohms and voltage drops every where i could!!! Lol. I knew i put 5 gal in. But. Ive no idea how many hours i ran it afterwards haha. And did not realize that i purchased the 21 gal tank no the 18. Lol. Lots of fuel to move that gauge

But i will recheck the timing today. Should be at 0 w the spout unplugged iirc
