When I timed it last time, I never pulled the vac secondary. So my timing is totaly fu*ked. I'll do all these things tomorow more then likey. It does run like ass. It misses at idle which may or may not be mis-matched JY plugs just to try to start the car. It's getting new Motorcrafts soon enough. Not like I can drive it yet. I'm still doing paper work for the  thing.

It's up up to you mason. Anything is better then a mix-matched set. I have 3 champions, 2 motorcraft, and 3 no name brands in the car. All off different ages. If you wana send them then awsome, but once those die I'm just sayin man, that I'm going motorcrafts. I've also heard ok things about autolites

STILL haven't got a timing light on it, but just playing with the timing, it runs alot better. A bit of heasitation from idle to WOT but not much. Revs free, no missing, alot better. Getting plugs soon, maybe new FMS wires, rotor, and cap. Also maybe a few supprises/tricks i have up my sleeve for if I can get it to CJ for sure. Also local news, Quaker City Dragway WILL BE OPENING AGAIN!!! It is expected to open june 1st. More then enough time for Steel vally nationals and Catjam. So if anyone wants to race, it may just happen.

I wouldn't go any further without a timing light.  It will sound nice, but may be at either 5btdc or 20btdc.

A semi clean Fila with no wax yet. Also no nu-finish. This is what was under 7 years of shiznit, dirt, grime and god knows what else. Not too bad. And I see NO, I repeat, NO BLUE TINT!







Under the Fila emblem is a set of Tarus SHO V8 badges. Look good but you can't really see too well

I've said it before & I'll say it again.  I hate the V8 badges.  Especially pushed right up against the FILA badge.

Tarus SVO acutally. They will be moved, just seeing how they look. Migh tkee them, might not. I might just go the old school 302 decals. I may go nothing at all. Just experminting. Clean wise, does she look any better?
