There's usually a slight hesitation present if I try to rev-it up. The engine allways starts right up and mechanicaly seems perfect.<br /><br />I'm still using the stock MAF and 19# inj's. Is it ok and should I be able to get this setup running well with the stock MAF/INJ's???<br /><br />I'm very confident that everything is hooked up correctly and that I dont have a massive vacum leak. But the thing/car seems to be having a timming problem of some sort. It seems way retarded guessing! how can I test this?

Also make sure you are running an autolite 103 plug or one with the same spec's as a 103. Common reasons why headers glow would be timing, vacuum leak, car running way to lean, and the least common thing might be a valve not seating right.
