Well I finally got to drive my car for the first time! Which was awesome. I drove it to the auto hobby shop here on base and tightend up some stuff and fixed my fuel line leak. But wehn I went to start it up it wouldnt start. Bummer! Well my ignition box ( duraspark II) was hot as H@##. Any ideas on whats wrong? Or a way to fix cheap or upgrade for cheap? Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys.

No info about your car's model year, EFI or carb, no mods listed. Makes it hard to troubleshoot when we don't know what you have.

Therefore, no clue as to which wiring diagram you need. The wiring changed several times between 79 & 95.

That's why it is a good idea to use the sig under the user control panel (User CP) option. It allows you to post your car year & mods, which help greatly when troubleshooting things. No, it is not there for us to snoop and see any "Secrets" you have hidden away under the hood. Be a good stangnetter and update you sig for future reference & don't keep us guessing.
