Re: 89 Mustang GT
are you sure its ignition that is giving you the problems? What was the car doing?
Reason i ask is because that same C&L MAF setup gave Brian the same problems with his car back when he used to run one |

Re: 89 Mustang GT
the A/F ratio couldn't have been better it was flat all the way across.
Blake took it as far as 21 degrees and the A/F was still good. As for the power curve it did have a more straight up>down shape to it and fell off a while before I felt it should, after reaching peak hp it fell off almost instantly ... I would have thought it to be a little flatter between 5000-5400 with this set up but that wasn't the case. as for what the car was doing, the larger load you put on it via timing the more it missed but again, the A/F was perfect. It seemed as though one cylinder was spuratically missing throughout the pull. There was some corrosion and grooves worn on the cap of the distributor which Blake felt could be contributing. I haven't checked to see what the plugs are gapped to yep (but they need to be replaced regardless) .. also still running the stock coil.

Re: 89 Mustang GT
The power would start dropping off at around 4K RPM on every pull. Each time it was dyno-ed, Blake would increase timing the and the curve would go a little higher in terms of power. Seems to be an issue with not enough spark at the upper end. Keep in mind she has a stock coil and old spark plugs that are gapped at who knows what?
