There are replacement plugs available, all that should be necessary is match color...


BTW I do know wiring is different colors on E/F series and maybe other vehicles as well, I believe Mustang & Fox Bird are same...

Thank you guys! I had the wiring all right didn't have some other clips hook up on the driver side! Now I have spark tested it on a light that shocked the piss outta me!! But still not starting?? Sprayed started fluid and it fired on that and I revved it trying to get it to catch and stay running. But no luck?  I watched the injectors spraying gas in to the bowl but won't start? When I parked the car it ran? Any suggestions

And I replaced the ground on the battery to the engine, and the positive wire to the solenoid..And put 5 gal of 91 octane with Lucas fuel treatment and it won't start?
