Started digging into my 92 I just bought. Was overfueling and misfiring. Decided to adjust timing first. Realized the distributor seemed to be installed wrong. Didn't have enough adjustment. Was hitting fuel rail. Found TDC on harmonic balancer and installed distributor. Car ran like crap...
I will say in all the years of being ASE certified I’ve never in my life seen a goofy harmonic balancer as my 2000 3.8 has. It had a massive oil leak around the main seal and timing cover area so I took it apart and found what is either scoring grooves or I’m just going nuts over nothing. The...

So im in the process of rebuilding my 302 for my fox body. The engine is out on a stand and Ive been replacing various things here and there over the past month or so. When the engine was in the car and I fired it up, the harmonic balancer would wobble a fairly decent amount although the crank...
