Yay. I was wondering what was going on. Haven't heard from you lately.

And when it was cold, forget about it. It would stutter and miss like a sonuvabitch. On a gut feeling I determined it was a spark/timing issue. Verified base timing. Still at 10btdc. Turned out to be a bad TFI module. Ripped the motorcraft module off the distributor that was on Blue's motor. And installed it. It runs like a raped ape. Even more power than it originally had! I need to get it out to the dragstrip before they close down for the season. I tried to go last Tuesday, but unfortunately it was raining all day.

Gone! But Parts from it will live on in others!
stupid ignition module. Where was the bad one from, a new purchase or just whatever came on the distributor?

Nice. Make sure to toss that TFI so not to go through this issue again with any of your other windsor motors.
I got the pleasure of driving "the Meg" the other day. Fun car to drive, with lots of mid range and top end power, but decent low end grunt too. Great throttle response and easy cruising. Handles well around the corners (going to be a beast with stiffer springs). Johns tuner thinks the current stock shift points are fine, but it felt like she had more in her than that. I really want to see what she'll do at the strip, so I will probably be going with John if I can.
