After driving around the stang and messing with the distributor. I found a sweet spot or where it ran good and then checked the timing. These are the numbers: with spout 38deg adv. without spout 28 deg. adv. Why does my car want to run with such high timing? Could it require this much adv. timing because of my low compression and the altitude im at. I'm around 5000ft. Albuquerque, NM. Holla! I believe its around 4psi lower then at sea level. Is running at 28 deg. going to mess up my stang? Thanks.
