    Typical Timing?

    Also after you get it up and running... (ass-u-me-ing you have a tuneable distributor) It should come with a half dozen different color springs. You mix and match these to get the desired "curve" you want, for the mechanical advance in the distributor. Or the nice modern ones, just have a...

    resident twEECer guru...

    No trouble codes... And I was a ASE cert tech in f.i. & eimssions cont. for several years before going in the military, so if it's basic troubleshooting... I'm stumped. ( my kingdom for a Sun engine analyzer :rlaugh: :D ) Like I said, I fought this same problem for well over a year...

    Typical Timing?

    Oh, I almost forgot... If you find you're having trouble starting it (like it's working really hard to turn over... working against itslef), try less initial lead. If it starts but idles like total s*** - rough, broken, wants to die, overheats... put more initial lead in it. ( when I...

    Typical Timing?

    Depends on heads, cam, etc. Good (safe) baselines are 10-12 initial and 30-34 total... (all in by 2000-2500) - heavier car, less torque, less rear gear: bring it in a little slower - lighter car, more torque, more gear: you can bring it in sooner Old 60's style heads will like more...

    Pully for 3G alt swap

    Any good machine shop should be able to open up the stocker to the right dia. Or most of the pulley companies (march, etc...) should have one that will work. Just measure the stock pulley and use that measurement to get the right one. (down in the grove, the outside dia is irrelevant...

    93 GT or Cobra?

    Read "GT/Cobra" as GT or Cobra... (93 cobras were hardtop, htachback and *i think* they only came in black, teal or red... at least those are the only colors I ever remember seeing) They had (engine wise) Cobra intake, 65mm throtle body, a slightly milder camshaft and 1.7 rockers...

    About to spend $51 on tko-600 fluid, any alternatives?

    You guys crack me up... spend 2K on a trans (dont forget the cost of the clutch and bellhousing too...) and then you want to save a few pennies on the oil that keeps it alive ?!?!?! :shrug: :nono: Thats like spending 10K on a motor and then running generic motor oil and Fram filters...

    stock 88 mustang cam

    Put the 3.73's in it. Remove the front sway bar and end links, then drive *very carefully* down to the track and leave on your way to a 12.9 :-) If that's not enough, go to a set of drag shocks (90/10 front and 50/50 rear) and some lightweight big-n-littles. ...but without a h/c/i swap...

    empty car weight

    You could pull up a website for one of the places that sells those new steel 68 mustang bodies. Whatever they list as shipping weight would be pretty close (minus maybe 200lbs for the crate?) Just a thought...
