Thanks, guys, it sounds awesome!

Allen, I wasn't sure. While the engine had run on the dyno, lots changed since then. Also, the first time I tried to start it, the MSD box was off (does "on" mean theft protection is on or MSD box is on?). Once I turned the switch "on", as you see it started right up and the timing was only off by about 2 degrees (lucky distributor stab).

I'm going to troubleshoot the charging circuit today. I found this on fordification as it has been at least 10 years since I worked on a car with an external voltage regulator.
