Hi all... Totally new here and I'm totally stumped.
I have a 66 mustang with a 289. It was running great and then about a week ago I went to drive it and it started missing really hard under load when I would step on the gas.
The next day it wouldn't start at all. I check the fuel - no water.. It's fine. I then checked my timing... Nothing had changed...still good. I checked my dwell... Still good. Checked for spark at the plugs and its there but I put a new coil on anyway(I replaced the entire egnition system about two months ago- wires, plugs, cap, rotor, condenser, etc). Then I thought maybe it was the carb(2 bar). So I yanked it and rebuilt it. Still nothing. After all that I decided to pull the cover and look at the timing chain... It appeared to have jumped a tooth because the dots were off by one tooth(and everything seemed stock so I am assumed no one had degreed the cam). So I replaced the chain and sprockets.
Still won't fire.... It sounds like it wants to but won't. I am out of ideas and very frustrated. Hoping I am missing something simple. Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks.
