I have a project kit car that I am using the drive train from a 92 Mustang 5.0.
Engine has been stroker to 347. I used a wiring harness diet that eliminates all the unused components such as AC, EGR, Smog etc.

This is still on the stock A9L computer. Been told car should run fine and also I should chip the computer. No expert here so I am asking for things to check.

What should the timing be set at? Been a while since I set it but I think I have it set to 14 degrees.

Problem is the car after running a few minutes will run you out of the garage because of the gas fumes. Runs okay but have not pushed 3k rpm's. Idles fine as well.

Here is a couple of older video clips I took of the engine running.

When you get to the point you can drive the car, take it to be dyno tuned. This should fix all your fuel issues. 14 degrees w/ the spout connector out should be fine for your app.
