Not Ranked
I installed the air gap. The engine does not come with a manifold. Ford recommends the Victor jr., but the dual plane air gap is a better choice for the street. This engine sees peak HP at 5600 rpm. Also, this isn't my first rodeo. I've built or restored 20+ cars over the years and have never had a problem like this one.
I thought the same thing on the grounds as I was having a charging problem. The Kirkham had a ground strap to the tranny. I added one to the engine and another to the alternator. Charging issue turned out to be the alternator.
