Looking at a 1991 SSP Need Help

[ajstoys63]

Well I know the first thing I have to get is a front tag holder... You know us Jersey folk have to have our front tag proudly displayed. Also thank you for the info. I already touched base with CJ Pony parts to get the o.e.m. air filter assembly.

I usually try Ford Motor Company first. There are many parts still available from the dealer. I ordered a bunch of stuff one time from 5.0 Resto and most of it came in original Ford packaging. I checked with the dealer and found i could have bought it all there and some of it was cheaper. Lesson learned....

I agree. Check your local Ford Dealer for pricing.

I was looking for the plastic door panel anchors. Couldn't find them at my local Murray's Auto Parts. Walked next door to the Ford Dealer. Not only did they have them, but the parts guy just gave me the dozen I needed. No charge! Glad I didn't order any through a catalog.

Well I ordered the tag bracket... $25.00 I am making a list for all of the interior stuff and I would like to put the exhaust back to stock as well. It has a brand new "X" pipe ad exhaust but it really is a little loud at 55-60 mph. I can't stand that so I will have to change it over. I found a new old stock "H" pipe for $300 on E-bay and I think I can find the factory exhaust too...

Congrats on your purchase. Check the rear-end gearing as it may have been changed and is what is causing your speedo reading to be off. Seems consistent that it was owing to your intake and exhaust not being stock either (the three most popular areas to mod with these cars by the masses).

You may be right... My friend was doing 55 and I was doing about 62... I could tell I wasn't going that fast, it may have been everyone flying past me, I really want to put the car back to stock. I can't stand the drone on the highway with this exhaust and I have no plans on racing it so that is why I will look into stock exhaust and intake... I may put a K&N filter in it but that will be the extent of its go faster stuff.... Don't get me wrong I like to drive fast but I just want this car correct.

If you find the stock exhaust and they have several send me a PM. I am needing stock exhaust for several cars.

I assume you are looking for the exhaust systems not the "H" pipe?? I am trying to track them down on-line and I have some friends at Ford that are looking also for me. The tough thing is the shipping costs. But I am sure it will work out. I will be sure to let you know what and where I find them.. No problems my friend!!

Wow, good luck finding stock exhaust, even used they're hard to come by!
