Not Ranked
Thanks everyone for your input and here is what I found out yesterday.
My MSD boxes are good (#2 and #3), both tested at 100% at the speed shop.
When I tested my battery it had at least one dead cell and was under warranty at O'Reilly's. I run a 1000 AMP Motorcraft battery and was putting out only 10.5 volts before a load was put on it with a load it went down to 8.9 volts and would require more than 30 mins to recharge.
I also noticed that my plugs were wet after a run, so I pulled the tops off the carbs and checked the floats again. I had apparantly changed the primary float level when I set secondary bend. Spec's call for a 7/16" float level with the air horn upside down (mine had changed to less than a 1/4". In the hanging position mine measured 15/16" which was ok. I didn't recheck the secondary float postition after I set the float height with the floats hanging down.
By the way I have all circuits grounded w/ 00 gauge that grounds to the inside frame and then to the engine block,
I haven't got everything back together yet but I will in about an hour and I will try everything out as soon as the wife and neighbors wakes up.
