This is before a badly needed spark plugs,wires and oil change. I think this seems right for a 89 LE.What do you guys think.

I drove a 1972 Ford Pinto that was about as quick.

It didn't sound as good though.

Sure you don't want a SC.

Thats 10.5 seconds. Thats EXACTLY what it should be.

Same as mine was, and mine was perfectly tuned up.
