the pinion shaft that the spiders are on eggs out in the carrier housing causing that play. Most of the time, the gears are fine, you just need a new carrier. good time for a locker or spool.

Experience I had with my diaphragm was that it it wouldn't re-engage above 6k power shits until the rpms dropped. did ok with off the throttle quick shifts.

I doubt it's a T&D problem or failures would be random cylinders. IDK, maybe a valve guide or stem issue.

fwiw... Randy Spohn's 8 second 65 Falcon was for sale for $82,500. Don't know if it ever sold, but last I saw it was at the FERR.

Most fords use a resistor wire from the ignition switch to the positive side of the coil that I've had go bad. Make sure that you have the proper voltage on the coil. Also make sure the coil isn't connected backwards ( - side goes to the points). Lastly don't overlook a bad ignition switch. You can always hot wire 12v to the + side of the coil and see if that fixes the miss, but it will be hard on the points so you might want to put an old set in to try.

This was last night. Only second time that I saw it in central PA. Last time was mid 80s and wasn't near as nice.
