keeping y'all posted.
Just thought I'd keep y'all posted on my progress.. FINALLY got my 460 running right... First the bad rod, then the carb problems, then the ignition problems, etc..
Solved everything except the ignition problems... till now. I opted to pull an old Duraspark (original magnetic breakerless) distributor and box. Figured how to wire it into a old car such as mine
Ohhhhhhhhhh yeaaaaaaaaaaaaa. smooth as could be. I'd honestly put it on par with a good aftermarket mag. breakerless system...at about 1/10th the price from a boneyard. Throttle response is insane, full power up to redline, no spark drop off (I suppose a reworked Mallory 55,000 volt Promaster coil helps some too..) and all the rest of the good stuff.
I hope to get into the 13-second range with this engine..
J/.c
1965 Ford Galaxie 500 (okay, so not quite a truck)
460/C6 transplant @ 389hp/491 lb.ft.
14.29@103.8, 13-14 mpg heheheheheh
