At this point you might want to start a new thread in the Electrical section of the Forum. That will get more views and better help. Here are my initial thoughts. If everything started after installing a new ignition switch on the column, I would double check your adjustment of the switch. Might be possible that you are not getting proper contact. I would think you would if the engine turns over, but I would check the simple stuff first. If that doesn't make a difference then you need to check power to the distributor and coil when cranking. If no power you need to determine why. If you do have power, then most likely you have an issue with the distributor or your ignition module. Good Luck!

I hit a few shows this year. Didn't enter it as much as I'd like to due to terrible paint. Went to Minnetonka drive in several times in Mound, hit Victoria a couple times and also went to Back to the 80's. I hope to attend more shows next year. Paint will still be ugly, atleast I'll be pimpin' Cobra brakes and 05 GT wheels.

Cool! What happens in Victoria?
I just did my usual shows, Apple Valley, Street Machine Nationals, and a few others. I would've shown the car, but it was down all season. Expecting it to be ready next year though. I really want to do Henderson, I think they get a pretty good turnout there.

Every other Tuesday they have a car show down town, well worth checking out a couple times a year. Heard a lot about Henderson, planned on going this year but never made it. Without a doubt next year, I'll be there. Street Machine Nationals is a yearly staple for me.

Just got back from another "mudane" 200 mile round-trip from Portland, across the Coast Range on Hwy 6 to Beaver, Oregon (on US101) for Thanksgiving. Stayed with brother (-from-another-mother) Larry and his wife Julie in their Becker's Cabins Auto Camp (5-star Airbnb).
A little frosty this morning!

Instead of using hood decal I had my center decal done using vinyl wrap
Very high end shop in Troy MI did the work it was 30 minutes and 150.00
I used the gloss black LMR GT decal to make it look somewhat factory
Attachment 130408Attachment 130409
Mustang Alley with 10 holes
Dark shadow grey ponies to keep contrast turned down ..Bullits are purchased and have 94/95 spindles maybe over winter

First car show and first time on road since 2015 next to my buddies 93 cobra who made it out to the local show
Car was completed 2 weeks before show ..was big milestone

Maybe over winter/spring I'll swap to these thoughts ? Or the silver 17" ponies ? Since day one on this site ESCOGT blue gt haunts my vision in my head haha
I think his cars look and stance is spot on
I see building a blow through carb setup down the road with cutting stock hood away to allow for piping to poke through and carb hat but leave car in stock appearing as factory as can be not doing hood scoop just let piping be open and piping and calipers will be powder coated titanium hue to match if or when I do the 5 lug swap
New tires are on and rear end is finally off jack stands. Front end is now coming apart, left side is completely tore down and rack is ready to pull out. Got my new Motorcraft front control arms on Friday, they sure are purdy!
A couple shots of the rears mounted up. SN95 rear axles with 05 GT/17x8 45mm offset rear wheels and 245/45-17 tires. No wheel spacers currently used, contemplating using 1/8" or 1/4" to push the tires out more. Rear end doesn't usually sit that high, hopefully it will settle a bit once all 4 tires are back on the ground. My paint sucks.

Wanted to share picture of what I had to do to use stock valve covers with baffles and stock dual snorkel while retaining stock pcv
I had to taco out the air cleaner and have a piece tig welded in this is very very thin material to allow the correct metered pcv valve room to occupy space.. in order to run my roller rockers I had to raise valve covers up quite a bit .. notice spacers under valve covers.. nothing fancy just wanted to keep everything
Stock appearing using factory components.. with these spacers I needed 2 sets of valve cover gaskets and really long socket head cap screw set screws with hexnut fastener to dress it off and helps with aligning all of the gaskets and spacer and valve covers with using these set screw studs
Also I had the valve covers glass beaded and hot tanked to give them good rinse and had them powder coated low sheen to stay near factory Alum cast look
By having them powdercoated they clean off easily because they have super smooth surface wipes off easily
Again nothing fancy just wanted to share a visual aid if you choose to use roller rockers and keep factory baffles inside
And that's 7.80 in empties
Thanks for reply Brant.. I always liked this bullit wheel with grey insert polished lip the only chrome on car is tail pipes and 5.0 badging so the polished lip goes with that and the grey insert of the GT moulding goes with the bullit center and the center caps catches the red of the seat piping lol OCD kicking in
Now only if they made 17" ten holes in 5 lug that cleared sn95 brakes to swap for those days you want to keep it OEM looking
Pulled the steering rack out today and finished tearing down the front suspension. Also mocked up the new control arms/spindles/rotor and tires without coil springs to check clearances and stance. Very happy with the mock up results, gained clearance (could easily clear a fatter tire on the front) and the stance looks to be epic. Can't wait for spring.
