No look to the right of the Temp Gauge in the dash 0 at the bottom and 7 at the top it's the same as mine and notice the rpm is just below 3 so the same as his add on scanner which shows 2,745 rpm!!
I also had an 88 T-Bird with the 3.8 V6 before I did the 460 Swap!!
I Loved that T-Bird but it was getting some crusty rust underneath it and I couldn't find another nice 83-88 T-Bird close to Me so I swapped the drivetrain into the Mustang I have now that came with a 4 cylinder!!
