    Welll... it's running but still got some minor adjusting and tweaking to do..

    I'm having trouble with the timing right now.. it only wants to run with about 25 degrees of intial timing.. if I bump it down to around 14-15 where it should be it's very sluggish and overheats.. I'm gonna pull the distributor tomorrow and reset everything.. worst case scenario I just have to run a lot of timing I guess.. it's not detonating or pinging at 25 so Idk wtf is going on with kt

    I locked the timing at 34 degrees and this thing came alive.. I can blow the tires off in 2nd and barely keep it going straight...

    It ran great for a few days like that.. this morning I tried to go to a huge mustang and all ford show in Macon for the cherry blossom festival but my luck wouldn't let me make it that far... :(

    Thinking I blew the rear main seal somehow which is bull**** cause it was brand new!

    Along with blowing the tires off you blew the rear main seal too. Take it easy, my young padawan. You're not being taped for a Street Outlaw episode :jester:

    Well I didn't build the car to get groceries!!

    And for what's it's worth it blew while I was cruising down the highway running around 2500 RPMs with about 20 other mustangs going to the show..
