Need Direction!!!

[rhawk777]

Just purchased 1995 GT ....guy said it had Ford'B'cam..and rebuilt 80K ago but no paperwork!!!!Proir owner had it done. Want to start light mods such as MSD Ignition,Wires,Cap,etc...if it has a cam wont that determine what ignition set up i need?? How do i know what to go with and if it even has a cam!? It sounds like it does but who knows??Also it has 2:70 rear end and is a low end dog....any recommondations on a rear end gearing ratio,manufacturer,and is it expensive tyo do??? Thanks guys and im sure ill be asking alot more questions in the future!!!

Cam doesn't really have any bearing on what ignition you run.

If you are near stock, ignition is prob one of the last mods i'd do anyway.

First thing i'd do is change the rear end gears to 3.73's. A b-cam tends to make it's power up top, so the PO wasn't really thinking when he stuck one in a tall-geared car. Of course, a cam swap on a stock engine tells me he was more interested in idle lope than a matched combo.

...nice

I would agree 3.73 ,upper/lower intake doesn't have to expensive, I have replaced with the same Cam , Trick Flow kit, stock heads for now with 3.73, lost some torque on lower end but noticeable difference for sure on mid to top end
3rd and 4th real strong, of course my current exhaust leak doesn't help. Have 87 gt stock with same intake setup, BBk Throttle Body and all top end new except again , the heads with aod and stock gears and definitely lost some bottom end. But more top end. I can only put out what I can take in with stock heads hopefully I can get some heads later.
