    Still making progress on BASH THRASH

    New gauges are finally in... after nearly 10 years of development.  (Good not = fast).

    I got my console window and lock switches relocated to the driver side of the console.  I have been wanting to revise that for a few years.  Hated to cut up a brand new console, but...progress.

    If all goes well (how many days in a row have I been saying this?) the new 427 will get fired up Friday for the first time.

    There is nothing like a BASH deadline that gets you busy on a Mustang !

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    I thought I was the only one who left instructions and other assorted "stuff" in and on my car while working on it.

    '66 Fastback since July 27, 1981. Springtime Yellow, originally a 200 cu in, 4 speed. Also a '92 LX Coupe, 5.0, 5 speed.

    Re: Still making progress on BASH THRASH

    Finally got plug wires made up and engine oil system primed today.  Tried to start it.  Gets fuel but no spark.  I am thinking I may have fried the MSD-6A box with all the welding that was going on...  New MSD-6AL will be here Tuesday...  Running out of time and energy!

    And I was all fired up to hear that new engine come to life today!

    There is a way to check the MSD box to know for sure.

    I forget exactly how you do it but its in the install instructions.

    I remember you turn key on and use a jumper wire.

    http://www.msdignition.com/page.aspx?id=3206

    One time after pulling my engine in and rewiring everything to clean everything up I hooked my msd up to a 12volt power source that gave me power when ignition was in run but not crank mode.  It took me awhile to figure it out. It actually sttarted several times when I turned ignition switch back from start to run mode. The engine was spinning over fast enough when the switch went toi run it actually would start,
