Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
It looks like you're running an MSD distributor. How did you phase it? Did you modify your shaft to align the sensor with the reluctor? When we'd had the car running before I'm not aware of any issues with the phasable rotor moving from where we set it but we only put a few hundred miles on it.
We got into the program far enough today to adjust the initial timing. The car fired up and ran but it's running pretty rough so far. We've got a major header leak on the passenger side coming off the head and it seems to be misfiring. I'm hoping we didn't damage the #1 piston yesterday. We forgot we had a piston stop in when we cranked it over. We were pretty close to top (about 9' BTDC) and the starter never bogged. I suppose a compression test is in order if the miss persists.
After charging the battery yesterday the voltage is showing around 10.4 volts (while cranking) after we'd made a number of start attempts.
