found out that the spring on the throttle body was off, which solves the recent starting issue...knew it would be something like that. so now it is running and i can drive it but still have to set the timing to about 26 degrees to have a good idle, easy start, and decent power. since i can now drive the car i'm going to take it to a friend who has been a mechanic for about 45 years and specializes in mustangs. hopefully we will get the timing issue worked out for good. i will keep updating...
