cant smoke the skins...problem??

2 things.
First, send your distributor to FBO for recurve and buy his kit. Its by far the best deal and all plug and play.

I wonder what you are actually stalling at? I had the same problem years ago. A car with a 4.10, 2500 stall. ran 9.75 in the 1/8. years later, same engine with a 4 speed and 3.54 gear ran 8.60!
If your converter is not flashing you are screwed.
Go to 4secondsflat.com look at that ignition kit deal.
