    Everything was going so good

    Man, rather mow my yard 40 times in a row vs work on an electrical problem.....heck, getting licked in the ear by a cat sounds better too!

    I remember the seat belt no start crap.....and was the first time I thought 'what's this world coming to'.....

    Everything was going so good

    Oh man, you hooked up the key buzzer? That's THE problem lol. JK JK but the buzzers were the first thing that got disconnected on ALL of my cars. Don't need any buzzer to tell me my key is in the ignition :D....and the newer cars with the gong gong gong gong is even worse. Actually hate the new...

    Everything was going so good

    I have what looks like a fat pen with a metal tip with a angled groove that fits on the plug wire. All ya have to do is lay it on the plug wire and it'll flash a small light if there's juice running through the wire. Super easy to use.

    Had a car do something similar once....started it up and released the key when the engine fired up but the starter stayed engaged. The problem was the starter itself. Intermittent electrical problems suck for sure but I'd be looking at the ignition switch too especially if it's the original.

    Initial timing at 50???

    93 in the 1/8 mile ain't nothing to sneeze at, that's for sure. A buddy and I played with a 318 72 Demon some years back and went 13.51 @ 102 with a sickly 2.02 60'. It still had a stock converter though plus the engine was still mostly stock with 115k miles on it along with the tired trans. We...

    Initial timing at 50???

    Even a 9-1 shouldn't need that much timing.....

    Initial timing at 50???

    .018 out....shouldn't be lacking for compression! You might check your lights with someone else to see if they show the same thing as there's or have them check your timing with their light. I did that the first time I ran across a similar situation.

    Initial timing at 50???

    Did you build the engine and know how far in the hole the pistons are? I've had a couple of engines that liked 50 TOTAL but they sure weren't 50 initial. Low compression engines (8-1) usually like a lot of total timing. Pistons 'advertised' for 10-1 are usually not even close so they need to be...
