So I found out my '89 is actually a '90....

+ re-pinning some of the wires in the ecu harness, running another one to the fuel pump solenoid, and a speedometer cable w/a VSS if the car did not come w/cruise control - IIRC. At least according to the conversion kit I bought a long time ago.

So if you are going to revive this thread, you have to tell us how this turned out?
What did you figure out?

I am going to try to do one tomorrow....my car stays in a bay at my dads machine shop during the winter, so I will try to make a stop over there tomorrow...I did have the VINs around here, but I misplaced them.
The thing that made me notice this dilemma is the fact that one VIN tag has a F code in it, while the other has an E, and this differentiates the car from being built in the 80's versus the 90's....upon further review, finding out it was a 1990.
I talked to the owner of the performance shop I take my car to, and he said this is a pretty significant deal because of the difference in the front brake system and the pistons used in the motors in that model year as opposed to years earlier.... has anyone ever heard of that?

funny thing is ford put 25th anniversary badges on 1990s and then 35th on 1999. Ford does 10 years in only 9. 
first time the did in on model year, as all 64 1/2 are registered as 1965, then then made it correct.

I am going to try to get to my dad's shop tonight or tomorrow...I haven't had too much time to go there because my Aunt died over the weekend, so things have been a little hectic.
