check to make sure timing marks are correct with TDC. Pull cap to ensure rotor is also facing #1 cyl. cool another guy who goes carburated like I want to. efi crap costs too much. By the time I would buy a good intake a big TBI, A Map sensor, cold air kit, injectors and pcm reflash. I can buy a kick butt intake and race carb.

If you have a Holley Carb. on a '89 LX, that means the engine isn't the stock engine. The Mustang switched to EFI in 1986. The timing and firing order might be different. Sounds like a pretty good ride.

you may be 180* out. Ok get your #1 cylinder to TDC and make sure your balancer is also at TDC from there advance or retard as neccesary

14 degrees on timeing is a good starting point
