yeah i got it fixed...only missed 1 class!...who needs social anyway right?
found a vac line unplugged, didnt fix it
all the sensors and plugs were tight
after 2 hours of tracing wires i found a wire that had corroded away on the inside so the insulation was still good, i must have broke the connection when i did the lifter cover
and i never thought...last night after the lifter cover i was gonna drive it out and put it in the street on 5 cylinders (broken spark plug remember) but it wouldnt start? i didnt think much of it just figured it didnt want to run with a missing clyinder but now i know why LOL
the wire was one of 3 going to the ground? for the distributor...the spark plug wire goes from the center on the dist. to the top of this part...it has to be removed to get at one of the ifter cover bolts...anyone know the name for this thing...i need a new one and a plug for it
since the wire was broken i was screwed cuz i wouldnt be able to get a new plug but i looked at the unit and i saw spade posts so i grabbed a couple household spade connectors and jimmy rigged it up and waddya know it runs...but one of the posts was loose so i a new one when i do the plug LOL
EDIT::: post #29, picture #2 you can see the top of the part im talking about...theres 1 yellow wire and 1 red wire, its in front of the dist. its also in the 8th pic of that post, right at the bottom of the pic

Like I said once, I'm technologically retarded.
I fail every time I try to load pictures of my truck up on here. I guess I have to just keep trying. I'll get er eventually...

They are pretty much glorified f150s. EXCEPT that our front axles are leaf sprung instead of coil sprung like an F150. and our frames are still more like a two fifty. Like I said, a full floating 10.25 is a bolt in swap for us, on an F150 there would be some work to do before you could sling a one ton axle under it.

Look at your rear wheel on your truck. If it has a big steel protruding hub with bolts on it, that's your axleshaft cover and it's a full floater. If it has no big steel protruding hub and nothing in the center of the rear wheel sticks out past the hub except the lug nuts, it's a semi floater like mine. I plan to swap mine out to a full floater soon, they are WAY stronger and have much more aftermarket support.
not to mention way easier to work on...you can change axles without even removing tires! i like that LOL...all the big rigs are full floats, so much easier...
yeah i guess that would help eh LOL...well my jimmy rig solution is still holding out just fine...still wanna replace all that stuff too, maybe ill do the knock sensor while im there LOL

Well, they're kind of like a cover, they make that little flange at the end that you bolt the shaft in with. Anyways, no petroskie, I know nothing about 5.0's. this is an inline six forum. get out! 
jk we put up with you. actually no you're all right, really. 
but seriously I know nothing about 302's I got a buddy who does though, he's building a 302 for one of his mustangs he has a few of.

people swap intake manifolds from EFI 302 mustangs onto the EFI 302 trucks if thats what you were referring to, good power booster actually...also works with crown vic EFI 302 intakes, they dont net as much of a power boost as the mustang intakes will though
