Thanks guys for your replys. I had a buddy of mine come over to take a look at my problem. The car would start,(but on six cylinders), so he just reved the engine and turned the dist. until it came to life and sounded good to his ears. I wanted to get the timing light out and he said not to worry about it. This guy was a ford master tech. for many years.
The car would miss slightly on lower RPM's but really run good over 3 grand. But it didn't want to start easily ever, so I knew it must have been advanced alot. So today I put a light on it and it was set at about 50 deg. TDC! I brought it back to an initial of about 18 deg. and now it of course it starts better. But, annother problem is that I don't seem to have any advance, and my engine still runs hot. I think maybe I need to put my dist. on one of those machines that checks your advance, if I only knew where one was. Any thoughts?
Thanks, Tim
