    combustion problems - HELP

    When it runs it runs very smoothly, with no miss fire. I did run through the wiring to make sure everything was as it should be. I found last night when rotating the engine to past the intake valve opening position that the rotor was at least one pole away from the number one position on the...

    combustion problems - HELP

    I started tearing down the front of the engine last night. One other site I posed the question to reminded me that the cam bolt washer does cover the pin dowel hole, therefor making it virtually impossible for the pin to come out the front. If it went out the back the fuel pump eccentric...

    combustion problems - HELP

    Now that you mention that cam washer.....I'm going to pull that distributor one more time and take a real close look at the gear pin. Hate to pull the timing cover to find that the gear pin has sheared and is slowly rotating around the shaft. I did notice last night that the valve timing in...

    combustion problems - HELP

    I didn't purchase an entire ignition system from MSD. When I mention duraspark I'm referring to the distributor not the igniton module. (This is a remanufactured/blueprinted unit done by Accel) The distributor is functioning as the trigger to power the coil and to distribute the spark to the...

    combustion problems - HELP

    I wouldn't bet my life on it, but almost positive I did. Hard to forget a washer that thick. Your scaring me a little, because if I didn't forget it my hopes for a final solution and one of relatively low cost may have gone out the window. Dave

    combustion problems - HELP

    Let's see plug in coil wire while triggering MSD sounds like bug zapper....I'm comfortable the coil and box work. I agree about the carb, I was thinking back 20 years ago when my Ford carb cracked at the float bowl. Float levels are perfect....power valve is probably bad due to the...

    combustion problems - HELP

    Yes, duraspark functions as a magnet trigger to the MSD box. Box works, new cap and rotor, new plugs. As I said it will run somewhat cleanly at 30 degrees at the distributor, but that ability also seems to be degrading. Will run less and less. One other thing I'm going to look into...

    combustion problems - HELP

    I have spun the engine with the cap off to verify good smooth movement. The Ford Motorsport chain has about 4,000 miles on it, so it's doubtful it's slipped, but will make a note to check. I'm not running a roller cam, so theoretically the gear should be good, but has been a consideration as...

    combustion problems - HELP

    :bang: I have a problem I just can't figure out. I'm getting fuel to and though the carb, floats ok, 66 primary jets, 68 in secondary. Idle screws about 1 turn out. I'm getting spark to the cap and plugs, verified MSD box works fine. No fuel filter obstructions. But it won't run. I can...

    MSD 6AL

    Here's the answer from MSD....one degree per thousand rpm, would be less than one degree timing variation at idle, where most of us use the timing lights I would expect. I don't think that variance would be worth buying another timing light! Sir; Adjustable or digital timing...

    MSD 6AL

    I see in the instructions for the MSD 6AL, something about not using either an inductive timing light or dial back one, can't remeber which though. Anyone know why?? Dave

    Mustang Enthusiast Editorial

    I thought I'd share the editorial John Clor wrote in the September issue of Mustang Enthusiast, page 122. I showed the article to John last weekend and it caught him off-guard. He didn't know they were printing it and was even surprised it was printed exactly as written. John did an...
