Hey all. New here and hoping i can find some info or help.
I have a 78 King Cobra. The original 302 took a dump on
me. So I figured if Im going to go threw the trouble I may as
well make it worth my wild.I decided to go fuel injection. Well
it is the first swap Ive ever done and Im pretty proud of myself.
That being said, I have a small issue that I just cant seem to
figure out.
Here is what I have. Engine, computer, and harness are from an
87 Lincoln mark vii LSC. It is the 5.0 HO Speed density. Its in and
connected and seems to run great. Perfect idle in park. perfect
idle in drive or reverse. Very smooth at hwy speed. However.
When I take off from a stop it has no power. The orig 132hp 302
would spin the tires at the slightest touch of the pedal. Now, it feels
like I am hauling a 6000 lb trailer or taking off in 2nd.(Im not, I counted)
I am still using the orig c4 and 8" rear. And I want to note that I
DO NOT have kick down cable connected. Which is weird because
If I accelerate I can feel it kick down. Not Like a passing gear but
a kick down none the less.
I guess after all that rant I am asking if the kick down must be
connected on the c4. I just assumed Its 1st threw 3rd and without it
I would not have passing gear.
Thanks for any help or just listening to me rant.
