    Rod and Custom coil over suspension?

    Has there been any projected time frame for availability of this rear suspension for the 71-73 cars? Suspension and brakes are my next project and I'm looking at Street or Track for this.

    Maybe I'll swap the camera over from the truck and get some footage. The limiting factor is my 7 year old laptop and its refusal to recognize use the video card. Watching and editing video is a non-starter. I put about 30 miles on it last night and pulled a plug. It looks good, maybe a touch...

    I suspect that the issue was present with the old engine, but I never tripped over it. If Ben hadn't mentioned that it happened with the Windsor before the swap this might have taken longer.

    I'm glad this thread was useful. I'll update as I tweak thkngs down the road.

    Yes, you came in with some winning numbers. ;)

    I'm pretty stoked about it. After everything in this thread and a long talk with a fellow from tech support at MSD (tech support was great), the only thing that could be turned up was the possibility of a bad coil killing spark. And so it was. If you get something from this regarding your FI...

    To everyone who suggested a bad coil: you win. New MSD coil was procured and installed. With much trepidation I warmed it up and took it on the road. On the big highway I shifter into second gear, brought it to 4000 RPM and stomped it. Holy crap! It was a rocket to 6000 RPM where I let off the...

    The TPS runs 0-5 volts, but I was unsure how to test it. It did show position properly when I pressed the gas pedal, though.

    To my mind it was all suspect. But not now. :D

    Everything is as you describe. Frankly, I picked up a lot of what Ibe learned about making the Atomic work by reading your posts, so it's unlikely that I'd have things set much differently. My settings are the same as they have been, but I brought fuel for WOT back to 11 for now, 20 timing at...

    The FI and ignition box both have rev limiters set at 7000. Doesn't mean they're not having an issue. I'm grabbing a new coil at lunch and I have a new IAC in the mail. I'll try the coil today, but I'm feeling pessimistic.

    There's clearly no rush at this point due to the need for new items in order for me to continue. Everyone has provided excellent guidance so far, too. I hope your family are well and I'm glad the 26 hour drive was free of drama. Thanks for dropping in and I'll look for your advice. AFR on the...

    I'm just referring to the adjustment of the idle air control. It's done manually by turning the screws to open or close the throttle blades. More opening of the blade reduces the amount of air added by the IAC, less blade opening increases air. The amount of air added is indicated on the...

    I'm going to try a new coil for now, as previously recommended here, and procure a replacement IAC.
