Ford 351m/400 with MSD
I bought a 79 f-100 from a guy who claimed he had it 90% restored. Since I am 16 I believed him - live and learn! Well I have fixed the incorrectly installed front suspension, the crossed plug wires and now had to have the "new" carb rebuilt. The mechanic says the MSD Ignition (which I thought was a good thing) is causing it to drop cylinders. It idles O.K. but runs like a drunk mule when I accelerate Anyone out there know about MSD??
Thanks,
