My buddy recently picked up a 1989 GT Mustang, and is now having some problems, and needs a lil help...
302 + 5-speed
E7 heads (unknown whats been done to them)
E303 cam
Trick Flow upper & lower intake
A/C & Smog delete
Long tube headers
Electric Fan
The car runs good, but a few days after he got the car it started a ticking noise. Its coming from the drivers side of the motor, and sounds like a lifter ticking. And at warm idle its only getting 5-10lbs of oil pressure, and starts smoking some. Its been like this the last few weeks now.
Then today the car died on him going down the road. When he tried to start it back up all it does it turns over trying to start, but acts like it isnt getting any spark.
The spark plugs/wires, cap, rotor, coil, and ignition module are new/good. So we took the distributor cap off, tried starting the car, and noticed the rotor inside isnt turning. So we took the distributor out to check the gear, and the distributor gear looks/works fine. So we tried starting the car while looking down the distributor hole, and noticed the cam/gear isnt turning.
So would this mean the timing chain broke? Or something else maybe? Any feedback is appreciated.
