Thanks for all the excellent replies people! And YES, Mascottrepair, the distributor is the ONLY item not replaced under the hood, ignition-wise. I had one guy mess with the distributor weights and lock them out, in an attempt to get better runnability. The engine has not stalled or died since...

Yes, XCuda, all true and accurate. I know that the Fuel Tank and Sending Unit were replaced before I bought the car, probably going back about 15-20 years at this point, by the previous owner. That doesn't guarantee anything of course, but at least we know it wasn't the OEM parts still in the...

I didn't put the cam kit in myself, so I don't exactly know how it was done. But the guy was an experienced engine builder and looked at the engine later and (seemed to) confirm that there was nothing wrong with the cam. But I hear what you're saying and if the fuel pump pressure yields nothing...

Thanks Steve.. I'll give that a shot! OC

Hey guys.. several years ago, I upgraded the cam with a Comp Cam kit, for slightly better performance on the 440. I believe the lift was .477, so not super radical. However, since adding the cam, I've had a runnability problem, where the engine will not rev above about 3000rpm and bogs on...

Nice ride.. welcome to the site!

That's what I needed... Thank you guys!!

You know, I'm not sure what they are. My door panels are "Dash Top" brand, only because there's a sticker on the back of them. The convertible panels I don't know, but no, they didn't come with the holes already drilled for the snaps. The boot itself is from Legendary.

Hey guys.. so I'm finally getting around to putting the snaps on my convertible boot. I bought this boot new about 5 years ago, but never went through with the snaps nor put the corresponding holes in the convertible panels to utilize the snaps. Does anyone happen to know, is there a "spec" for...

That's because I grounded the motor block (one of the studs) to the engine, but removed it when it didn't fix the problem. Does it need to be grounded to the ballast resistor, for some reason?
