Non-tuning issue - moved to 5.0 Tech.

Are you sure the timing isn't 180° out of phase?

 

[apollo12]

are you @ t.d.c with the rotor facing #1 on the cap?

 

[kylem40]

yah I took out the spark plug n when it push my finger out of the hole I made sure it was tdc then set the timing to 10degrees n the more advanced I go the smoother it runs so Idk

 

[kylem40]

but it always back fires when u get on the throttle I was wondering if it mite have something to do with the carburator to its a holley 600

What firing order are you using? The truck may be different than what the 79 was. I know a truck is different that what an HO motor is but Idk what 79 used.

 

[kylem40]

[apollo12]

f 150 truck motor isn't an ho motor

 

[kylem40]
