RE: Question
You're sure theres no wiring ? Well it depends on what yo uwant to do. If you want to go fuel injected you'll need the wiring harness/computer from an EFI Car, if carbed you would need a wiring harness from a carbed car or what not so you have all the stuff to hook everything up. Obviously you'd also need a motor since all you have is a trans.

Let's say you have a 1985 Mustang chassis with nothing but a motor and transmission.. No wiring at all, dash, or interior.
What do you need to hook up to get it to run properly?

RE: Question
I wired all that in there.. it runs, but ****ty.
It seems to have a problem only under a load.
Does anyone know about the msd coil?
When the car is on, it's giving out 7 Volts... when I rev it, it goes down to 1 volt, does that sound normall or soemthing wrong?

Timing should be fine, and it's a Holley 750 Double pump.
The motor was rebuilt from the ground up, .030 over, crank, pistons, ect.

RE: Question
since you don't have alt hooked up voltage will be slowly dropping constantly and can affect all sorts of things expecially the ignition system and a 750 will choke that motor out..most likely the jetting it way to rich....650 max and more so your build is suited to a 600
