Ok, as some know i put a new motor in my car a couple weeks ago. It ran fine the first week it was done, I pull out of my drive way and go to take off and it starts to miss from about 1200 rpm to 2500 rpm, but anything below or past that it runs fine. The plugs are gapped at .050, cap, rotor and plug wires are 5 months old, and i recently done the 3g conversion(4 gauge ground and power wire)So what could my problem be? Cars a 5 speed, gasket matched E-7's and a cam(was told it was an F-cam but sounds more like a b-cam LOL) Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

What year? EFI or Carb? If EFI, what mods have been done to the fuel system?

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.
