Sound like you had a good day at the track.

Well we finally got the Mustang back down to the shop. We know it's late in the season, but hopefully we can make a few test and tune before they shut the track down for the season. Hopefully we won't found any big problems with the car. It fired right up after sitting in the trailer for two years and it sounds really good. The track that we are going to run the car at is around 300' lower in elevation, so maybe we can shave another tenth or two off our times.
Well that's it for now.

Here in Colorado, were right at 5000 feet above sea level. We always advance the timing 4 to 6 degrees from what the factory recommends to give the fuel time to burn. As far as the jetting goes is I'm old school so we just read the plugs and go from there. Like Jay said an A/F sensor would be the most accurate.

I was always taught that electricity is lazy, and it will find they easiest path. Sound like to me is you have a carbon track in the distributor cap. Just a guess.

Well as you probably guessed we didn't get to the track this season. Everybody on the race team just had to much going on. For me my son got married and that took a lot of time and all of our race car money. I did get the seat belt recertified. So now it's so late in the season, we decided to  skip racing this year. There some updates we want do to the car any way. So we will get those done over the winter. Hopefully we will be faster and safer next year.
I would like to thank everybody that is following our racing adventures. It is really fun racing an FE powered race car. Most people haven't got a clue what an FE is, until they see it run a low 11 N/A.
We are working on another FE power race car ( 67 Cougar ) with a stroked 427 side oiler. That one is a few years away.
I hope everybody has a great winter!!!
See next year!!

We have done a lot of racing this past month. We have hit 4 test and tunes and on Saturday we raced a fall series bracket race. It was only 1/8 mile. That was a first for our team. The car ran great!!!! We didn't change anything, just ran it like we were running 1/4 mile. Our first run we set our best 1/8 mile. The car ran 7.25@ 94.84mph. We only got one time trial, before going into elimination. We put 7.25 for the dial in knowing the car would run that. We went 2 rounds. The first round I red lit but the guy I was racing red lit worse. The car ran 7.35 @ 93.95. The second round I drew a track veteran so I knew I had my hands full. I forgot to mention I was running the old geezer class, so there was all kinds of cars. Including race cars with all the electronics, and me running a foot brake car with a two step. The guy I was racing dialed in with a 6.5 and we dialed in with a 7.25. So I knew I had to be on the ball. I had a decent reaction time, but it wasn't good enough. He beat me by 2 100th. I gave him run for his money. I really though I beat him, but I didn't run my dial. I ran 7.37@94.04mph.
It was a great day of racing, and last day we will be racing at that awesome track. Hopefully Bandimere will build us a new track in a year or two.
Next year we will being racing in Pueblo Colorado which is about 2 hours from home.
Well thats it for now.
Thanks for listening. GO FE POWER!!!!!!

Man we would love to have some 1.5 60 foot times. Our best is a 1.61 60 foot.
