85 Foxbody Mustang 5.0 Wouldn’t Run—The Real Problem Was Simple

In this video I show you guys how to make a professional yet simple wire repair with hand tools. Not running right could mean hundreds of different things depending on who’s making that statement. I also show you some basics that are good to know. Simple things can make or break your mustang running or not. Even though this mustang has some more underlying issues, the initial fix was simple to get it running.
