Re: Ford 8.8 rear end

unless your bluetop is somehow putting out upwards of 400 ft-lbs of torque, an 8.8 makes as much sense as bolting on a matching 40 pound flywheel, while u at it. Drawback : overkill

Re: heavilly modified 16v with idle issue

put something over the carb inlets to block them, to see if you have a vacuum leak. Break booster sealed also ?
If the cams are some off brand regrinds, it's anybody's guess how they can idle

Re: crank sensor bracket

as the sensor on the crankshaft like that is much more accurate than the CAS/dist off the camshaft due to the cambelt inclined to think spark timing needs to be no less in sync with valve events. Dist/cas is direct driven by cam Piston TDC should be in sync with cam timing either way.... verified b...
