sky, you are all over the place in mustangworks! ok, the points type ignition does suck. i dont know how much timing the old style distributor adds to the initial timing so im not sure what the total advance is or where its all in at. i know we already unplugged the vacuum advance a few months ago and replaced the advance weight springs with the lightest set available from mr. gasket. the tune up is brand new, but you are right, a pertronix will be more accurate. the cam was installed straight up, and the 600cfm holley is box stock, the only thing we changed there was the pump cam setting to the #2 position. the 302 short block could be from anywhere and its the only thing we havent touched. its not using oil at all but the scoring on the cylinders says its definetly seen mileage. theres no blowby since the heads were reworked. compression checks before the heads were pulled showed every cylinder different from 110 psi to 130psi. im sure its better now because the heads were shot(recessed valves from unleaded gas etc.) compression check is due i guess, but the heads should perform better than 5.0 stock h.o. heads. 66 289 heads have no smog bumps, and have smaller chambers. besides stainless 351 valves were put in and the heads were shaved for even more compression. the car is light and has 3.80 gears but gets no rubber without brake torquing. what a bomb huh? the tires are 60 series bfg radials only 25 inches tall..not drag radials....they should go up in smoke right? is there anymore info you need on the car?
