It is not alive and breathing yet but Frankenstein took a breath and coughed this morning.
I still can’t get it to run yet but I have fire and believe it is just a timing issue now. After using parts of 6 different Ford diagrams and taking select information from most of them, I got the spark I was working to get. It really tries to start but backfires and pops. I had the distributor out so many times that I feel I got the timing off.
The Miata wiring diagrams were so specific, simple and accurate, that engine fired on the first turn when I originally installed that engine in my 29 pickup. Fords diagrams not so. I understand I am building a Frankenstein so it is not like I have a car with all the original wiring, sensors and relays. But I hope to be on the test road soon.
Thanks to all who offered some ideas and direction. It all made me learn every aspect of this engine and it’s systems. Thanks again.
