    Took the front tires off and attempted to clean up the wheel wells. Drained my fuel cell and started loosening thing up so I can replace all the mounting hardware and get it in place more securely.

    As Resto said I did some Un-Doing to my car today. Its funny how it takes all day to put in a Nitrous kit but only take 20 minutes to take it out. After meeting Resto and waving goodbye to my old stuf I went and worked on my Mustang for the next 10 hours. I think the maverick is getting jealous.

    take out carburator and distributor for service

    I take out distributor for cleaning and service and unfortunately broke two bushings that holds weights for mechanical advance:cussing: change points and condensator. I also cleaned up carburator and i realized it is an Autolite 2100D and do some research about adjusment. but can't find yet replacement, gasket kit :cry:

    Finally got the 347 running pretty well. Guess the loaner Mallory distributor needs 12V to the coil, even though Mallory instructions show an 8V option. The MSD Blaster 2 coil instructions say it MUST have a ballast resistor or resistor wire but I'll run it at 12V till I can get it back to the engine builder and swap in the Pertronix dist. Will replace the MSD coil with a Pertronix coil that is recommended for that distributor.

    Also washed the Mav and may put a little wax on it too. :cool:
