Hey Sam! It's been a while since you posted an update on 8337. Have you made any more progress?

I haven't made any more progress, it's just off to the side right now until some other projects are finished. I've seen some photos of inservice 85-6's that have made me want to jump back into the car. I'm still kicking myself for tearing into the car so early. I wish I had kept it together and rebuilt the carb. I'd be driving and enjoying it right now. I miss the sound of the silent exhaust :( I'm not taking the same route with my dads 90, I want him to keep it like it is for a while and just drive it. :D Still need a siren amp and wiring, and possibly another trunk radio and repeater to complete the equipment. Also still want to find an original gun rack.... |
Kinda sad that the car has just sat, unable for me to do anything to it :(
Got a good hood for it finally. Also got an original 85-6 CHP Mustang Gun rack!! :D Will post pics when it gets here. |

In other news, got an original 85-6 CHP Mustang rack for 8337! And have a perfect set of bright trim from the 85 parts car my dad bought. Might use the perfect trunk lid from the car too :D |
The gun rack does not fit, looks like it was from a 91 Crown vic. Oh well.
Bought the 85 5.0 coupe parts car that NHP Mustang had listed. Bright trim is perfect, side moldings are perfect, windows are perfect, rear bumper, dash face trim, springs, seat frames, weather stripping, trunk lid, etc, all needed things for my car:D I have found more evidence of how my car was equipped too!!!! Looking at my dash pad, I can see slight indentations and rub marks from brackets being mounted to the dash pad mounting points. I believe 82, 84, and 85 (possibly 86 too) were all equipped similarly. I have some pictures of pictures of an 82's inside and trunk, and the 85 Beale test car posters my dad got are big enough to distinguish some details. Looks like on my car there was a support bracket for the gun rack on the passenger side that attached to the dash pad screw point closest to the center above the passenger side dash face. The mic bracket attached to another bracket that came off of the nearest screw point to the center on the drivers side. Off of the beale poster, I can see that the note pad is not attached to the gun rack like the aero mustang racks, it is more above the vent next to the HVAC controls. On my dash pad, I can see that another bracket was mounted to the screw hole second closest to the center of the dash. From what I think, the note pad was attached to a cross bar that mounted to the one screw hole bracket and the bracket for the mic bar. I've given up trying to find an original rack, so I'll just have to modify one my dad has. In my trunk (I've talked about this before but I don't remember where), there are two "mystery" holes to the right of the center radio board support. Looking at the 82 trunk photo I can see what the two holes were for. My car had the older Micor radio tray setup(I can see the same holes in Rich's car from his fotki pics). The other day I just happened to come across the radio junction box that allows for the repeater in some of my dads stuff!:D Already have an older MVR-16 repeater, just need the massive radio tray. Does anyone know where the wig wag module was located? Would it have been the street sweeper? I only found one non-factory screw hole on the drivers side inner fender, back close to the firewall (also near wiring that was spliced together. Time for some pics now:D http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/...ps9c87b3eb.jpg I plan on having the pulleys redone, media blast the aluminum parts, still pull the motor, strip it down to the block(replace all the seals, make sure everything else is ok), repaint the entire engine bay, etc http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/...ps92113680.jpg http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/...ps404b52be.jpg Still need to buy NOS seat material http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/...ps982c8d66.jpg http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/...ps32576655.jpg Got a good hood for it :D http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/...ps4b849077.jpg http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/...psc3f36a39.jpg Second place wiring was tapped into, down by the frame rail http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/...ps29b39db9.jpg Single screw hole http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/...ps64f0c4bd.jpg Passenger side http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/...psf1cc9bcd.jpg Drivers side http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/...ps090a4451.jpg http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/...ps2ff14571.jpg http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/...ps08c08d53.jpg Gun rack screw holes http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/...ps97c2e42b.jpg And an old pic:D http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/...psdd54c86c.jpg |
You can see the outline of the clip on the note pad plate isn't close to the map light
http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/...ps3c223040.jpg I'm gonna have to save up for Gatorbacks now, since I have this pic of them on this car lol http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/...ps2c66ce3c.jpg Little harder to see in this pic, but you can kinda see the dark outline of the notepad holder if you look to the left of where the steering wheel would be http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/...psa3c12063.jpg 82 trunk. Lower board is plywood attached to the car by a 90degree bracket Pretty sure the lower board has the siren amp, antenna switch box, and the box for the radio repeater split. The repeater split box might not have been on the board either http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/...ps2021f9d7.jpg http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/...psd905d78b.jpg http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/...psb0c40568.jpg The two brackets on the 82 http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/...pse4b3038c.jpg 85 might have had the lighter port, I don't know for sure. Can also see that the CC1 used a factory fed sig bracket, attached by two bolts underneath:D http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/...pscc2c7a6a.jpg Hope that helps the 82 owners a bit too:) |
Nice pics, Sam! :)

Sam, not sure how long the Streetsweepers were used but eventually they were joined by the Sound Off Signal RoadRunner, both were mounted to the coil cover.
RoadRunner on an '88: http://images109.fotki.com/v786/phot...5/ccs90-vi.jpg Looks like a Street Sweeper on a '90: http://images116.fotki.com/v617/phot...Flasher-vi.jpg I don't believe the Street Sweepers are still being made but the RoadRunner is still in the catalog. RoadRunner with current markings: http://images116.fotki.com/v712/phot...dRunner-vi.jpg RoadRunner with vintage markings: http://images115.fotki.com/v692/phot...runner1-vi.jpg The siren amp was mounted below the main radio board. I didn't have any extra holes in my trunk floor in that area to indicate another mounting board may have been used so we just mounted it upside down onto the bottom of the main board. |
Great pics, thanks for posting them.
As for the flasher, did you get any info/pics showing that the Unitrol wasn't still being used? |
