efi 460 timing help
i have a 88 f250 with a efi 460 finally got the dist to turn ( after a couple of days of soaking it in liquid wrench ) and got the timing set at 10degrees with the spout removed. but as soon as i plug the spout back in the timing jumps to 30 degrees.
ive replaced all the plugs, plug wires, rotor and cap, and the coil what do i need to do next to get the timing to stop advancing?

If it is hard to start when hot, pull the coil wire off and then try it. If it then spins freely, then, yes, the timing is to blame. If it is the same, then timing has nothing to do with it.

It's not going to start, of course, but if the timing is causing it to be hard to start, it can only do that if there is fire to the plugs.
Remember that heat makes your starter use more juice - whenever my starter starts dragging when hot, it usually means my battery cables are dirty.

I just got a new starter and new cables someone told me to wrap the starter in a insulated blanket and see if that helps too.
Also I just ordered a new fuel pressure regulator beause the old one was leaking
