- 73 Mustang Grande Coupe
Hello Mustang Family , I need some advice or assistance.
I have a 73 Mustang with 351C 2V motor , the motor has just gone through a complete rebuild with new balancer and inside bits. I used a ebay ready to run distributor and set the static timing , we started the car in December and it was running perfectly fine, first turn start and no issues. The car went off to a V8 "specialist" they removed the distributor to change what I dont know but since then the car has had 2 issues. 1. It burnt the center pin on the distributor cap , I have never seen this before and cannot understand why . Before they pulled the Distro they sent a vid of the car and it was running beautifully. 2. Since the new cap is on she will not fire clean and backfires through the intake. I am suspecting timing but setting her on TDC or 10Deg BTDC does the same. Really not sure what could be the issue , perhaps the pickup in the distro has gone and its not doing something it should.
