[QUOTE="GeorgiaSnake, post: 13517320, member: 113703"] Its easy to get carried away, LOL. OK, if its an automatic, set the idle at between 600-700 rpm in gear and once warmed up. I really don't consider dwell except with points in a distributor, I am an old dual point guy. I would try setting the timing between 8 & 10 degrees. Funny you should bring up the Marine engines as the 351W started off life as a boat engine which is why its firing order is different. Yep, autocross is a blast. My 65 was built especially for autocross. The front suspension was modified as well as the rear suspension. A lot of old school mods. Body was also modified. The engine was a bit different. My Mustang was originally a 200 I-6 car. I built a 250 I-6 for it that ended up putting out 397 bhp @ 7800 rpm. I kept that engine because it gave me a better power to weight ratio and a better front to rear weight bias for better handling. The engine was very old school in its build with 3 carbs, dual exhaust header, solid lifter cam, dual point distributor and 13.75:1 compression. [I] also had a 9" rearend with a 4.11 Detroit Locker.
