I have a friend who is an agnostic car brand and engine guru. He loves hot rod cars. We had him spend last weekend with us and had a blast. My Mustang was originally going to be his Barn Find. His ex fiancée convinced him not to buy so I bought the 65 Fastback. Wedding never happened. I still got the car. So he considers our FB as partially his. He came to visit us last weekend and we were able to spend a couple days tweeking the timing and Carb setting to his OCD specifics. Ol Blue has never ran so good. My timing was off, my vacuum was off, my carb was off. It used to lug down when when you jumped on the throttle while at cruising speed. No more. It is a gorgeous thing. I still have a short list of items I need to get to tweek out the final issues. 
I learned so much from my friend. He is an old Air Force buddy I spent a year with in Korea. We both were missing our families and our normal lives. 
Next year he is planning on driving out and helping with the Bash. I hope you all get to meet Pete and shake his hand. Great guy. 

BTW my timing is 8 degrees initial and 22-24 at WOT. Vacuum is now at 15+ at idle. Never been that low. My carb is maxed out with the biggest jets and the smallest rods. I need a bigger Carb. He wants me to get the Holley Sniper. 

Great times, and great friends in this world.
