    still running rough after engine install. HELP :/

    im going to make this as short and simple to follow. I installed an RNH 347. Its crank is set for the REGULAR 5.0 firing order (1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8). my stock 93 lx 5.0 computer is running the HO firing order (1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8). So initially, it was running off of 4 cylinders due to the fact that 4...

    Car wont fire -- GOING TO CRY

    Car wont fire -- GOING TO CRY

    I DO have a signal to the old factory ignition, and when I had the MSD hooked up - I had one as well. everything is grounded (to block/head/neg cable). the blaster coil is BRANDNEW out of the box, so I was suprised as to it not working.
