    Timing light sporadics and timing question.

    Accell 8mm wires. I'll test the light on other wires and see how that does. I tried 3 seperate lights on the truck when I had it at the shop, so I know it wasnt the light itself. All three did the same thing. And by running odd, its soft. The engine doesnt have any snap to it. It also has no...

    Timing light sporadics and timing question.

    Spout was disconnected while setting the timing. I'm gonna buy a timing light in the next couple days and redo the timing from the ground up again.

    Block is cracked, questions

    Awsome to see your still going. "Troubles never singly come".. If theres anything more true than that I dont know what it is. I remember my first car.. 72 240 Fairlady Z. Right hand drive, the whole deal.. From the SECOND I got it to my house it was a fight. For over a year I dumped every...

    Timing light sporadics and timing question.

    Is sporadics even a word? Anyway.. I meant to post on this earlier but it slipped my mind. While re-timing my engine we had some trouble with the timing light. Actually we had the same trouble from 3 different ones. When I hooked the light up and set it on the pulley the pulse was very...

    Got some codes. Could use some clarity,

    Allrighty.. I hooked the truck up to a scanner today and got some codes pulled. I referenced them but their actual meaning and how it pertains to the engine are a little cryptic. Was hoping some folks may be able to shed a little light on them for me. Key On, Engine Off - 157 MAF Circuit...

    Guys helpw/carb setup and running rich&brakes....

    When you converted the 4 to the 5.0 did you swap the front suspension and brakes? If so you may need a.. Umm. Crap. I cant remember what the name of the part is.. Essentially its a little metal block that acts to distribute the pressure evenly to the front and back brakes. Alot of times when...

    GT just got T-boned! Now what?

    Yeah, the trick is a firm disposition and patience. I had a 92 Chevy Lumina with 250k miles on it that got smashed by a station wagon the size of a tanker truck while I was sitting behind a stopped school bus. It took a couple weeks and a small army of phone calls but I managed to get a very...

    SPOUT connecter.

    Taking the truck in to get the timing worked out today but ive read that I should set the timing with the SPOUT connecter out, then reinstall it when I'm done. Where and what is it exactly? heh. Also, should I remove it when I zero the engine itself in or when I'm getting the distributer...

    E7TE Heads?

    Sounds good. I think I'm gonna take em and have them cleaned up today or tomarrow. I'll be trying my hand at a little custom porting job on them for my bud. Im a fair hand with a Dremmel and it should be fun, hehe.

    E7TE Heads?

    These are what the stock 5.0 HO's use correct? I have a set of heads laying around from my trucks old 5.0 (94 F-150) and they have a "T" stamped on them which identifys them as the E7TE heads I think. I wanted to confirm that. I was just curious as I wanted to get them milled and cleaned...

    Engine tries to die with fast throttle taps.

    Excellent info. I'm gonna see about getting a scanner from the Ford dealership my buds work at but if thats not an option then I'll be using the self test method. Thanks again for the info. By the time this truck is running I'm gonna have to have a little sticker with your name made up and...

    AOD question.

    Yeah I found it, Doesnt help me too terribly much but I appreciate the info none-the-less. I reposted on a couple F-150 sites and posted on FordForums.com in their F-series section. Hopefully I'll get some info from someone there on it. In truth its no real rush. Its gonna be a while...

    AOD question.

    Ok.. another retarded question from me. Im putting my transmission cooler lines on but I need to know which goes where. Theres two outlets on the tranny, a top and bottom and two on the radiator.. top and bottom. Also, the tranny and radiator are in my F-150. I tried to see if there were...

    Engine tries to die with fast throttle taps.

    Allrighty.. I'm working the gremlins out of my 5.0 while I wait for the throttle cable bracket and intake tubing and I noticed an odd one today. If I hit the throttle quickly, the truck sputters and tries to die. It usually doesnt actually die but it certainly tries. If I rev the motor slowly it...

    Power difference in HO and non.

    Well, I put it on the HO firing order and it wouldnt start. We fooled with it for about two hours trying to figure out what the hell the problem was and ended up trying to put the non HO firing order on and it kicked over. It ran a little dumpy, but it was oddly smooth.. So I figured the...
