There are three major remaining problems I have yet to fix to get the "show on the road."

1.) My battery light is still on. I just installed a brand new battery yesterday and the alternator is like 2.5 years old. 2 of which the car was out of commission. I dont know what else to check?

2.) It's still running rich, really rich. In fact even if I open the garage door it still burns the eyes and nose. Fuel pressure is bottomed out at 37 psi; if I unscrew it any more the fitting is gonna pop out! Any thoughts?

3.) The transmission is still not shifting right. It shifts way too early. If I'm in D or OD and I floor it, it doesn't even shift at all! The only way I can drive it is to use the manual pattern. I adjusted the TV linkage to spec(33 psi) using a pressure gauge and the linkage block. Again, any thoughts?

P.S. I tryed pulling codes but the setup that was posted by HiFlow didn't work on my car. Are there ANY other ways to pull codes?

Thanks all

I might be able to help you with one. Is your AOD stock? or do you have a shift-kit?

Try this for TV adjustment.

Thanks HiFlow, that actually worked pretty well compared to what it was doing before. Unfortunately, I've got some really bad news. I got home after that test drive and heard a hissing sound coming from my engine somewhere. Sure enough, there was coolant coming out of the head studs!!! I just recently heard, over at MustangWorks, that the Sportsman block uses a longer stud in the lower holes. Something about affecting the water jackets. Anyone heard of this? I really dont wanna have to put on new head gaskets already. Especially at $120 a pair! Do you think, if i cant find em, theres anyway to safely sneek in new lower studs without pulling the heads?

you didn't put sealant on the bottom row of head studs when you installed them did you? mistaaaaaaaake. those all need a bunch of silicone to keep your head gaskets in one piece...
