Try gapping the plugs to .035 or .040. See if that helps. I'm not sure what pistons your running but higher compression should require tighter gap then stock. Are you sure your valves are adjusted right?

Your mod list says 306. I know that speed pro stock replacement pistons give higher compression then stock. Try regapping the plugs. Also with the 30# injectors and your mods you might be loading up on fuel up top. Might want to try pulling some fuel pressure.

RE: Help spark rattle
if it was loading up it would not rattle. the rattle is caused by lasck of fuel or to much air. I have made timing so low it would bearly run and fp like 30 and it still does it. It has to be something eletrical.

RE: Help spark rattle
Because I had a repo distributor in the car and it fit like **** and I could swear it never worked right. So Bernie told me to pull the spout and see what happened. So I did and nothing, not rattle, ping, or pops of anykind. So i figured that the alignment in the distributor was off and when it advanced it was going to far. So I went to the junk yard and got a ford distributor out of a 88gt and now she runs great.
