It's 100% something in the distributor. First, disabling the rev limiter helped a ton but it still cuts power here and there. I did get to drive it and, oh my GOD, it's gonna haul ass. The brakes are terrible, but I have a disc kit to fix it. We ended today by setting the front float bowl before running out of time and already the throttle response is evil but I haven't driven it after setting that. I forgot to mention the tach is dead too

My buddy Zebb brought his '72 Duster over earlier in the day.

That's my buddy Nick behind the wheel. He's been a huge help with the wiring and the tuning.

Ain't no fun in viewing your car as an 'investment'. Get out there and beat on it!
