Well, the FAST/Factory Stock race at US131 in Martin, MI didn't exactly go as planned. Two passes down the track and nowhere close to a clean run. Not running right over 5K rpm. I thought I fouled plugs, but nope. Checked several things, replaced cap and rotor and it ran better. But when I made a pass she wouldn't rev over 5K (and they are brand new valve springs so I know that's not it). So all things seem to be pointing to the M&H points conversion. I plan on swapping that in the new few days as I prep the car for Maryland International Raceway (MIR). However, the weather doesn't appear to be looking too good at this point, so we'll see.

The good news, the car still launches real good. I just wasn't able to see how the M-20 I swapped in for the M-21 performed.
