Ford wont run right

Recently i replaced the head on my 1987 F-150, 300 4.9L straight 6, every thing is back in place, but the truck is missing badly like its firing on 1 cylinder. I put new spark plugs in and its still not firing. the rail that provides air in the head has a leak but i was also told it seemed to be a vaccum problem most likely. I started the truck and i unhooked the line from the booster and it ran a little better, but now it wont start at all and before i replaced the head it did not have this problem so can anyone advise me on what may be the problem

Hi and welcome to FTE! Be sure to read this to help you around this site: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/s...d.php?t=300691 There are also State Chapters located near the bottom of the main forum page.

There is an Inline 6 (4.9 L) forum down the page a bit. I am going to put this there so that you will get better/more responses. Good luck with your truck.

See ya on the boards!
