Good evening all.
I think my Mustang is going to be in this year's MCACN show in November. They started a new catagory of "Modern Muscle" - they are going to allow 13 Mopar, 13 GM & 13 Ford - and I think I am one of the 13 Fords that were picked (I won't know for sure until I get my packet but filled out the online entry form). I bit the bullet and put my car in Concourse Day 2 (period correct bolt on mods will not get points taken off) Let's see how well my Daily Driver will do in Concourse judging LOL!

evening all, just seeing if Keane made it to Carlisle with his Plymouth.....Not much else going on......
Barb, how is the 84 running, I didn't see any updates this past week after the rebuild/install......Best of luck with it.
Me, just lurking as usual, not much to say......

Thanks for asking! The 84 fired up first shot!! Did not quite run the times I wanted at the track but I am still trying to get all the little things fine tuned!!! It sounds AWESOME though!!! Honestly, not quiet sure I went big enough on the cam or I have the timing not quite right yet. It will take some time to get the new set up exactly how I want it. I did, however, get rid of the dead miss on cylinder 8!!! There is always tomorrow!!! LOL Hopefully the rain stays away so I can get some stuff figured out!!

Barb, keep plugging away, I know you will and have. Always surprised at what you take on to get it running good. Are you running a basic HEI distributor, I thought I read long before you maybe had an MSD? I switched over from a GM HEI to an MSD and had tons of problems......Either way, glad the miss is gone.

I surprise myself with some of the stuff I get into...LOL I sure am learning a lot...hahaha I am SOOO glad I am not paying someone else to do all this work. Before long, I will have touched every part of this car. Been inside the transmission, been inside the engine, Even had to mess with the web of gears in the rear end a little bit to pull my rear axles. Darn sure not scared to get dirty!!
You remember correctly that I am actually running partial MSD. GM HEI distributor with MSD Cap and rotor!!!
