check to make sure your balancer is not spun.

sounds wierd to me. 14 is good for iron heads, and 26 is death.

The little chip that allows you to remove the computer from advancing timing.

This article might be helpful.

Good luck.

The spout is a little gray plug on the passenger side by the airbox

Its plugged into a black plug and there are no wires coming out of the gray part. just pull it to make sure the timing is right.

I think 10* is factory.

Spin the motor around to TDC on 1 and note the balancer's position.

Good luck.

If you found it on 26 when you first checked it .........

I'd have to throw in with Ben & JT about the hb may have slipped a bit.

Not all that uncommon with our 94-95 Stangs.

If the hb is good, seems like you woulda been dealing with the ping thing at a setting of 26

when you put the spout back in, thats when the computer takes over. just set the base timing, plug it back in, and let the computer handle the rest.
