I don't seem to have much luck with the search feature, so I'll put this out there as a quick Q&A.
A friend has a 71 429 J code Mustang and can't seem to get it running right. He knows I got my 351 C sorted with the help of my buddies here.
The questions are; what setting does the 429 like? How much initial, how much crank mechanical advance and how much vacuum advance. What is the total mechanical a 429 will tolerate. I think he may have the same basic trouble I had with too much mechanical advance on the crank for the amount of initial he is trying to put in.
I believe the motor is stock as I know he has not even pulled it from the car.
Any help is most welcome.
Geoff.
