I love the passion here!! I check back in two weeks after my last post and your still trying to help, Thank you!!

One post did catch my attention from CobraEd, I guess I really don't know what engine I have. Been told it was a 427. The date code on the block reads December 14, 1967 (7L14). Not sure when the production line began or ended for the 427.

Also, to go back to my tunning question, I turned the fuel mixture screws out to add some fuel to my 2 edlebrock carbs. This greatly reduced the popping from the pipes. The timing is at roughly 21 degrees at 1000 rpm. The new pro billet MSD distributer has the factory springs and the MSD 6AL2 seems to be working fine. I do however, have a small stutter when I try to accelerate quickly, smooths out fine and climbs right to 6ooo rpm without any fuel starvation issues. I'm going to blame the dual 4 setup and not the ignition (ignition is new from 6AL2 to the plugs).

Anyone know someone in Tampa that can tune this once and for all? I'd like to accomplish a reliable daily driver feel.

Thanks again,

Mike
