If you get up this way let me know.

Why thank you... Looks like a guy could learn a few things hangin' around your shop... You do some nice work up there...
We have a saying around here:

Worked with the Power Steering Raq today and got it mostly placed (good enough to move on). As it is located it has 1/16 toe out in 2" bump and 3/16" toe out in 2" droop. I can get it closer but it will require either raq or upright modification which I don't need to do now.
The raq mount will double as a frame stiffener and is next.

Anyone ever use an alternative steering column?
I GIVE UP!!!!
Car is done!
I just mounted the wheels to the test stand and off we go!
Actually I got it up for the suspension work:

I have been working on the circuit to display timing and timing advance. Anyone ever check advance on cylinders other then #1? I think I will make it to where timing can be checked on all cylinders for uniformity.
I may also make a simple box for cars which can display timing, advance and O2 in the cockpit which can be easily used on any car.

This looks a bit a mess but it is displaying RPM and timing advance:
I am looking into a different sort of aftermarket steering column to go with this power steering raq. Nothing too fancy but short. Any recommendations?
Good work Gary
Nice to see 1905 getting the attention it deserves.
I have checked individual timing on a friends Snap on scope. We moved the pickup from one cylinder to another. I was also interesting to see the spark profile differences from one cylinder to another.
On my Duraspark I will have to tweak tangs on the pick up to adjust it.
MSD ( I think) makes a dist that you can adjust each cylinder independantly up to 6 degrees. I cant remember the Engine applications they make it for. It was designed for the NASCAR industry.
I read about it in Circle Track Magazine.
If I find the link I will post it.

Brooke how uniform was the spark when your friend did his scope?
Not that anyone cares but I am still plunging away at the computer interface to the car. I have a few more things working. Throttle position, Manifold pressure, RPM is almost there. The more I do the more there is to do to it. Ran it some again tonight trying to see where I need to go with it next. Getting everything to communicate correctly in a timely fashion is tricky. Got the wide band oxygen controllers in today.
The aluminum tubing to exit the exhaust did not work out so well. Blew them apart at idle.

I care ... because I;m not getting half as much work done as you ... if I could stop having babies maybe I can get back to work ... LOL
A little over a year old right? How is the baby? Count your blessings. Trust me!

The timing was only +- 1/2 degree. This was checked on a balancer that was marked 360 degrees.
This was with a Mallory Unilite in a 428FE
What I did find however, were some new spark wires that were not working quite right.
I had two cylinders that did not scope the same.
I changed wires and it fixed it.
The engine did not have a miss or any running issues with the bad wires. If we hadn't scoped it I would not have found the problem.
Here is the link to the article I previously mentioned.
Good stuff.

Brooke, what firing order are you using on your 400?
