I am having problem with my timing. I did a efi conversion in my 64 1/2 mustang and im trying to get my timing right. From the sound of it right now i can tell that the timing is off a little but can anyone show many articles or pics,etc on how to fix the timing.

Here is a link to a video of how the car is sounding now...

I'm in Iraq so my internet sucks so I didn't watch the vid but here is the tech article on stabbing the dizzy to get you started.

its sounds really wierd....maybe its the audio. are you firing on all 8? have you ran codes yet? what are you idling at?

did you drop a complete motor in???

Definitely sounds like either wrong firing order or a couple misfires. This may sound stupid but are you sure you're using the correct firing order; and are you sure you put your plug wires on in order Counter-Clockwise?

Well, first I would check your firing order and make sure you didn't cross a plug wire or too. It almost sounds like its got some exhaust leak too.

I will make sure to go over the firing order again. the motor was built for me, but i dropped the dizzy in myself. The exhaust leak sound is just that. i added long tube headers and to quiet the sound some in the area where the car is, the old exhaust system is attached with a few different things just for a quick fix until i can drive it to the exhaust shop and get my xpipe and magna flow mufflers put on. So yea i will go over my firing order again
