    First Ford? How did you stumble upon this website? Or Canada for that matter. Btw, you're in good company because I have a 95 and I still don't know what's going on....
    .....bro....

      I was a dealership wrench when those cars were new...it was rare that I ever saw the PCM cause a speedo issue....and if it were the PCM I'd think you would have some sort of drivability issue showing up too, and/or likely a CEL. Most common was the VSS and the wiring harness that goes through the floor into the underside of the tunnel...I recall a number of them having troubles in that harness, but since your CC works I'd say that likely isn't where your problem is. Secondarily, I put a lot of clusters in those cars...most often because of broken plastic gears that turn the mileage and trip odometers....Ford didn't service those individually at the time, but I'm sure they do now. However, I don't believe that those gears being broken would effect the speedo itself (been a while since I looked at one). You might pull the cluster and have a look there...real easy to R&R. You can rig up some jumpers from the speedo connection to your DVOM, and then drive the car or run the back tires on stands and check for voltage signal.

      EDIT: I seem to recall that there is also a fuse that can kill the speedo in those cars as well....be sure to start there before you tear into everything.

        I found references to this site in the Texas section of LS1.com back in the late 90's/early 2,000's.

          Pretty sure. The ends of the wing don't go that far forward on the Mustang stocker.

          Here's a stock wing:


          My first thought was that maybe it's off of a Probe?

              How weird. Not from a Probe, the underside says "Rear Spoiler Ford Mustang". The part number is F4ZZ-6344210. It also has a center post.

                Maybe the spoiler was part of a California edition or package? Normally I like them without spoilers, but I kinda dig this one.

                  I'm thinking it was some sort of optional spoiler for them during that era...I can't place it, but I know I've seen one like it with that center support. The standard GT spoiler was a little shorter too.

                      If you guys remember what Ford had planned for the Mustang in 87, you are both right.

                          I bet you're right. Maybe a dealer installed spoiler.

                              Thanks! I agree it would look and handle better, but I'm old and I like the ride as is. And it already has enough interior rattles

                                Does the car have fog lights?
