New owner long time enthusiust, recently purchased 95 GTand the guy said it had been rebuilt 80k ago and that it has a Ford "B" Cam...with no paperwork!!!
My first few mods i am wanting to do is MSD or other ignition,cap,rotor,wires,plugs! Wouldnt the cam affect what the ignition chioce would be?Well how do i figure out if it has a cam? Also it has really high gears and would love to make it quicker...suppossably it has 2;70's??? Any recommondations for size and manufacturer? Is it an expensive upgrade??Thanx for the input and i am sure you all will be hearing from m e alot!!lol

upgrading the ignition will be fine, that cam wont affect that. is the car an auto? if it is it might seem to chop a little bit harder than a five speed. to check the gears, jack up the back of the car and see if the stock gear tag is still on the pumpkin cover, it will be attached with one of the cover bolts and it will have the ratio on that. if not, you could always spin a tire and count the revolutions

He means drive shaft revolutions. If the gear is 2:73 you would see the drive shaft rotate 2 3/4 times for 1 wheel revolution.

You'd probably know if you had a B cam. Those things are pretty choppy.

If your OEM ignition is in good shape ..........
it is more than enough to deal with a NA combo to well over
300 to the wheels

Yes ... compare the amount of movement of drive shaft and tire to get your ratio
