I had a 79 Cobra Mustang in high school. It was the 302 V8. Same two tone exterior color with red interior. Mine had the sunroof. Seeing brings back memories
The waste gate on this factory set up has a spring loaded dual hose vacum actuator. If you block off the large port, it will take more pressure to close the waste gate. You will get FULL BOOST!!! I think factory was 5psi, you will definitely double that!. You can't run it too hard tho. You will need to get the carb to dump a lil more fuel because it will run a bit lean with this extra boost.
I had one of these and the stupid turbo wasn’t intercooled and the turbo went bad and that had to be replace first off and the cobra package is just stickers nothing more . There was other turbo mustangs and they just lack the stickers .
I had one just like this in high school in the early 80’s. Same engine and color. I sure wish I still had it

I live near Saint Paul Mn and seeing any 4 eye Mustangs is rare. I had two 5.0 Pace Cars from 1987 to 1991.
Mad Max. A Indestructible beautiful car. I hope you keep it the way it look's and only fix the tech. issues.

Nice job on persevering it.
Had a ‘79 turbo car for years, but mine was a notch and only a Gaia, not Cobra. Man, oh man I miss her.
This is the second video I’ve watched from the yankee doodle salesman, and he never leaves contact info.
Used to be one in Claymont had rear wiper.
They all had the antenna hole, but yours is missing the small plastic cover for the hole.
Is this car still available? I'm interested if so.
Is from Maine ? Lucky still alive , with the salt
I'm not familiar with those cars but when you panned over the engine, I didn't see the turbo or where the piping from it goes to the intake.
It’s under the carb. They didn’t have piping like that back then lol. No wastegate, no intercooler
@@pablorojas5296 yah, you're right and I see it now, but just barely. It's on the driver's side tucked up under the air cleaner.
It’s a draw through system, no piping

That looks like a plain 2.3 engine, it didn't look as if it had a turbo charger!!!
It's under the carburetor.
Can you find the horn ?
Turn signal switch
Where is the turbo located? I’m looking at buying one but I can’t figure out where it is
First attempt at turbo. Yup will need to google it to understand.
It's on the intake

Nice!
