Re: My thoughts on the Timing Tuner...... Yeah.... I found out what happened <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> #7 is gone. I have no compression in that cylinder. #2 was just thrown off from the unbalance of the firing. I dont think it was from the timing tuner. Ive had some problems in the past.
The timing tuner works great. I toasted my motor on the best race Ive had yet and I was flat out f%^&en flyin'. Even the girlfriend said "Damn, Ive never felt your car pull like that before" <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Then I lost #7. I was sprayin on that race. I walked the poor Mustang really good, slicks and all <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
I think the backfiring might also be related to this problem and not the timing tuner. Im going to start a tear down when I get some time and Ill know more.

Country boy....I am trying to install the timing tuner now...I removed alternator and found a wiring harness under the alt, but it is the wrong type (it is square, 4 hole kind), and the timing tuner wiring takes a 3-across style. I cannot find the crang trigger wiring harness! Any more details would be great!
