A guy I know needed a good DD and offered to trade straight up for this:

I hadn't driven the Jetta in two months, so I said sure.
Mustang is a 93 GT, Rust free, 5 speed, saleen skirts and wing, 5 lug converted, longtubes, etc.
The bad is it's carb'd and he couldn't make it run. He had been through a bunch of duraspark and points stuff, with no luck. So, I drug it up on the rollback and brought it home, dicked with a duraspark module for a while (haha like 10 min)til i figured out the wiring, clocked the engine to TDC, dropped in a distributer, timed it by eye, dumped some gas down the carb and it fired right up. The oil pressure came right up and it sounds pretty healthy. It has a holley 550 on a weiand intake.
Anywho, I plan to make a track car/auto crosser out of it. I'm like 10 min from Mid Ohio and an hour from any strips, plus I'm not real into pounding the quarter anymore. I'm debating making it injected again or just leaving it carb'd, It's gonna get a 10 point cage and a fuel cell first off, then the rest is in the air as I figure it out.
