Are you sure you got the distributor back "in time"? It is possible to put it back in 180 degrees "off". Sometimes the engine will still run, just not very well. (Yes, I did this once.) You really shouldn't have to set timing at ADC on an engine like the 302/5.0. ______________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 05 Apr 2000 19:21:52 -0700 From: Adam McLaughlin Subject: Re: Need a 302 hey dude!

I want to replace the exhaust manifold with block hugger headers, but haven't found a manufacturer that can tell me if theirs will fit the space between steering box & starter. Anybody have experience with this?

Are you sure that really lines up with he crank's TDC ? I don't know why it wouldn't, but sometmes you get to swapping things around and timing pointers move and that sort of thing ... I'd think you could probably pull close to 14 degrees (Before TDC) if you're running stock compression ratio's and such ... if its really after top dead center it would probalby not run over about a thousand rpm's ... a friend of mine set his a 0 once ... said it was a screamer to 3K then it just died off ...

I need to know exactly what to look for like any information i need to ask the previous owner like do they need head work after 100,000 miles or anything like that. also what mpg and life should i expect from a well maintained 6.9or7.3 diesel??? thanks please reply directly mailto:treefort prodigy.net ------------------------------ End of perf-list Digest V2000 #39 ********************************* ---------------------------------------------------------- Ford Truck Enthusiasts Performance, Hot-Rod and Custom Truck List Send posts to perf-list ford-trucks.com If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing |
