Dear Pro Mod Wad,

I recently bought a used NOS kit for my 5 liter, '90 Mustang. Unfortunately it didn't come with directions. I think I can install it correctly but I have no idea what jets, fuel, pressure, etc. to use for a baseline so I won't hurt my engine. Can you help?

Dear Lost,

First off, sorry to hear that you're lost in Missouri which is generally too DAMN HOT & HUMID!! Second, I would strongly advise you contact the tech dept. at NOS for a copy of the instruction booklet for the system you bought used. If it is in fact for a '90 Mustang 5.0 it is a dry manifold system, that will need you to be very cautious on the install so that the system functions at all. Now enjoy the blue bottle!!!!

Good Luck! --PWM
