here is some really good info. this is how I solved my problem yesterday :D  http://www.turbotbird.com/faqs/  to answer some of your questions...  I get somewhere between 24-30mpg, use motorcraft wires, autolite 764 plugs gapped between .032 and .036, timing set at about 10* and TPS set between .97 and .99v and that should pretty well sum it up for a good tune.  this is how I run mine and they run pretty  good.

The motor's barely broken in.  NATO has great info, and since no one's said it yet, so does TF.

Can't tell from the pic, is the right taillight busted or is there something on it?
