 Depending on what accessories...  Depending on what accessories and transmission you are using, the harness has six leads that need to be wired in. The other connectors are for the electronic throttle pedal (left) and the OBDII diagnostic port (center).  With the help of Mark Houlihan,...  With the help of Mark Houlihan, Tech Editor for our sister magazine, Modified Mustangs & Fords, we made note of each lead and figured out what was needed and what wasn't. The harness includes leads for the air conditioning, tach signal, clutch safety switch, start/run, start, and a lead for an electronic speedometer.  Being that we have mechanical...  Being that we have mechanical gauges and are not going to run A/C for the time being, we only have three leads to connect-12-volt start, 12-volt start/run, and the clutch safety switch. If you are not planning on running a clutch safety switch, simply connect the lead to a ring terminal and ground it to complete the circuit.  After taking the plastic cover...  After taking the plastic cover off of the steering column, disconnect the ignition switch harness to gain easier access to the wiring.  The wires are then spliced...  The wires are then spliced into the harness and the wiring is complete. Here, Houlihan crimps the ring terminal onto the clutch safety switch lead.  Back in the engine bay, the...  Back in the engine bay, the connections are even simpler. With the cover off of the power distribution box, the large green connector from the engine harness is one of two connections that need to be made. The connector plugs in and is tightened with a bolt that is part of the block.  The next step is to figure...  The next step is to figure out where to mount the ECM. Our ECM is going to be mounted in front of the passenger-side wheel in the inner fender. With the location decided, the rest of the harness can be run and secured. Be sure you run the ECM connectors close enough to where the computer will be mounted.  Using some extra angle aluminum...  Using some extra angle aluminum from another project, we cut two brackets for mounting the ECM. The mounts are simple and sturdy. After plugging in the rest of the connections and supplying power to the main lead, the wiring is finished.  The Stealth tank is a stock...  The Stealth tank is a stock Fox-body gas tank with a welded sump already installed. Inside the sump sits an A1000 fuel pump and fuel filter. Installation is as simple as swapping tanks and connecting a few wires.  Aeromotive sent us its Stealth...  Aeromotive sent us its Stealth Fuel System. Aside from the tank, the kit includes everything needed to plumb the entire fuel system, and it's all under one part number. For our Fox Mustang, we used PN 17147. We simply swapped the Fox-body fuel rails for a set of Three-Valve rails for our Hot Rod crate engine.  Aeromotive also includes an...  Aeromotive also includes an in-line filter, along with a billet bracket to hold it in place. Although Aeromotive recommends mounting the filter to plastic cover on the tank, we aren't planning on running the stock cover. We mounted our filter to the framerail where it is easily accessible to change the filter when needed.  Aeromotive sent us a set of...  Aeromotive sent us a set of Three-Valve 4.6L fuel rails, which will bolt right onto our crate engine.
