351w swap into 67 The bad and finally the good

I'm making headway finally, the bad I took the 67 to get it lined up,the owner didn't do it,he had a 20 something
year old do it. The kid had a hard time,he kept asking the owner,I can't get this I can't get that.  All I did was put new lower control arms, roller spring saddles,and shocks on. It took him 3 hours to line it up,(a bad sign). I took the car
home a heard a pop the steering wheel went crooked. I slowly drove home. both wheels,were laying out on the 
bottom (camber) ,I went underneath, both nuts were loose on the lower control arm cams. I set the wheels by eye and went back the next morning  (another 3 hour job). I had the owner check it out. The owner builds engines and is 
heavily into nas car. Mistake #2 I told him the car still wasn't running right, we took it out for a road test, it started
breaking up,he really got in to it (He beat the crap out of it) about a minute later both mufflers blew up (BIG TIME).
He did tell me he was sorry. I had made a lead to go from the battery direct to the coil, but wanted to get the front
end lined up for all the test driving I was doing. I hooked it up today the car's running great. I had checked the voltage at the coil I did have 12 volts. I put a new feed harness from the fire wall. I will probably get a new 
ignition switch and run a new wire out to the engine feed harness. I hope I finally turned the corner, when 
everything is fixed up,I will be getting the aligment checked (some place else).
I want to thank everyone for their help.  mustang stu
P.S. Someone on this forum said to check the input to the coil, it's possible the wire can can carry the voltage
but not enough wire to feed the amps. Hopefully pictures will follow before too long THANK'S TO ALL!
