Had to save it to show to my sons, they seen me stripping them when they came and picked up an engine stand
I just have the timing set at 10 before and haven't messed with the idle mixture much. It may get better. I haven't adjusted the valves either.
Be worth checking the valves. But from here it sounds very happy
E-brake set light working as well
Long day
Tapping out
Set choke
Couple of leaks managed... front end alignment set.
Got the e brake guide reattached where I had to move it to accommodate the dual exhaust.
Swapped out to the dead sexy valve covers!!
Hopefully, tomorrow a drive on pavement

Those nice young men in their clean white coats.
But why do theirs have the buttons on the front?
You had a busy day my friend, you will sleep good tonight that's for sure.
Congratulations on a good day, love the red light to let you know it's engaged
My home is smack dab under the number 3
That looks awesome.
Checking in before I check out.
We went out to eat with the neighbors across the street. Had a great meal and a good time. I may check through the sites doing some mod duties, but't I am close to crashing. Nite all.

good Morning. That was middle of the night
First thing i always recheck, 18436572
I changed distributors yesterday. Dang, Mopars are so easy. I put it in at 8 before. Bumped it to 10 and locked it down. I looked all over for a spark tester. No where to be found. I bought one of those adjustable gap ones that worked pretty slick.

Mine was 180 but thats a big pop and didn't run till I moved it.
Morning!
Minus something, tired of it. Not warming up much for the next week.
Back in shop, working on rad fitment.

I checked the pick up gap on the old distributor it was way wide and the distributor was really cruddy inside. It looked like a fresh junk yard pull. I didn't check it closer after I pulled it but it acted like the rivet for the pivot was loose. The plate was real sloppy nad you could move it around with the adjustment screw tight. The replacement that I had was marked "remanufactured", was clean, had a new vac. canister, and the gap was .009. It's good I looked a little closer at that old one.
That Mustang is quite a project..
