if i need a new distrib would a reman stocker with an upgraded tfi and upgraded coil handle nitrous duty and or a turbo in the future? to the tune of 525-550hp at the fly, just so i dont have to upgrade again later?
do you think i require a igniton box?
oh. Those are low numbers for a 347 on a dynojet.dyno jet
I deff have stalled dot to dot- the distrib looks a tooth off though would this cause such a loss?oh. Those are low numbers for a 347 on a dynojet.
My buddy was down about 100 horse on his 347. It walmost identical to mine. Turned out the timing chain marks were not dot to dot it was a tooth or two off and caused the power loss.

I agree.. As long as you can turn the distributor far enough you are fine..if you could spin the dizzy 360 deg you could just throw it in and turn it till you got what you wanted..Ive read here on stangnet that the tooth off on the dizzy is kinda BS because as long as you can turn the dizzy enough to set the timing then it dont matter.
I'm going to disagree with noobz here... Running an MSD box on it would be wise if your running nitrous or even a turbo. Turn the factory rev limiter to say 9999 and control the limit on the box. Factory limiter cuts fuel not spark msd box cuts spark. You go cutting fuel on a nitrous car if you tap the limiter with it on it will go KABOOM
thanks guys i will work on diagnosing the tfi pip and coil, and check all the basics an go from there. The other most brought up issue could be vavle springs but i dont believe that ... yeti agree with all noobz347 last comments exept the ignition box.....im still going with tfi or pip cause ive been thru both more than once, do you have a code reader? that showed me the way to a bad pip or just buy one of each and swap cause you should have a spare in glovebox with these cars anyway. Good luck hope u find the power btw my car made 364rwhp and 385rwt corrected on a very stingy mustang dyno (actual numbers before correction were 382rwhp 402rwt) with a small intake, so there might be some power loss with those heads

Agreed, the stock ignition will support pretty much anything you can throw at it.Another suspicion is that the TFI might be a knock off or that the PiP is in it's golden years not firing in perfect time.
All suspicions and no way to way to tell without standing infront of it. I haven't seen much that the OEM ignition system can't do on street driven vehicle running pump gas.
how do you feel about a aftermarket coil?Agreed, the stock ignition will support pretty much anything you can throw at it.
I believe he said somewhere above he had a dyno module or similar for a TFI, which i can pretty much say for sure is a POS, they are all crap except the original ford.
You are talking about two different uses for an msd box, it's one thing to want it as a limiter, but for performance gains or repairing a spark issue, they are useless.
that statement alone for me is enough to put an MSD in box for me. i personaly dont like how the factory computer does the limiter.if i need a new distrib would a reman stocker with an upgraded tfi and upgraded coil handle nitrous duty and or a turbo in the future? to the tune of 525-550hp at the fly, just so i dont have to upgrade again later?
