Nerd Racing's 85 S 5 Speed
 

I figured it was time to start one of these, especially since I'm doing things to it now.

I'm trying to be as purpose oriented as possible with my modifications, nothing offending or unnecessary. The car came from Georgia and it is rock solid, but it has 180,000 miles on it. Most everything seems to be stock or as close to it as possible. The car had mismatched tires on it (mostly 205 with one 185).

Here she is as I bought her:

I ended up going with the narrower tires for it mainly because I didn't see that new wider ones were available again. It has a loose steering component in it somewhere I need to address. It is much more apparent with the new tires.

Started my direct fire leading ignition with HEI igniters and Blaster 2 coils for the leading:

This is the diagram I am following.

How am I doing so far? I have more pictures of how clean this thing is underneath I will upload later on when I have access to my phone cable for transfers.

I think there's a typo on that version of the drawing, it looks like you are using the trailing signal, not the leading.

Here's a post by the TFDFS author t_g_farrell (super helpful all knowing rotary guy). Scroll up and back for context.

Edit I mean TFIDFIS

Thanks for the heads up! I'm going to change that over ASAP.

I've got a 3rd coil on it's way with bracket for the trailing. I need to pick up a relay and some 10 gage wire though. I'm hoping to have this setup all buttoned up by the end of the weekend.
