I picked up the Mustang and drove her today to see how she handled. She felt better/more responsive than before. There is still some hesitation when I hit the gas but I have an electric ignition system that I plan to install this weekend which will hopefully help more. The only bad hesitation is when I go around a corner and try to accelerate out of the turn. She felt like she was about to stall out.

EXACTLY, what did they do at the shop related to running issues?

ok, good!
So he said it runs great because it has a hesitation?
Incorrect float level…set it to 1/2”
floor it HARD from as dead stop and tell us if it hesitates?

YES! It sounds like he wants to see if you're born yesterday and willingly request to get hosed funding his retirement.

I bought and installed them. They look kinda hoopty but oh well. I was hoping these would fix my "door not closing" issue but it did not. Upon further inspection, the latch itself looks like it needs to be replaced. YAY!

ok, forget about your door tag . . your door is cracked and your latch will soon fall out on the ground . . remove the tag and install a door latch reinforcement plate.
also, never, ever, close a mustang door hard, they will break at the latch.

lol...yeah but it looks WAY better than your door latch laying on the ground and guess what . . that area can not be welded/repaired very easily.
that coil is probably worth $10.00 on ehay but i would keep it for a spare . . the std msd coils burn out occasionally . . the santi vibration ones don't just in case you bought either of these
