    How can I tell if the computer is bad?

    Sorry for the misspell on your name jrichker. I wish I had the wire colors listed on the test port you have above. None of mine are similar. I fear that if the computer is not bad now, it soon would be if I jumper the wrong wire. Let me crack open some boxes, to find my splice notes so I...

    How can I tell if the computer is bad?

    P.S. If anyone wants to donate an 89-91 harness to my cause, I would be oh so thankful.

    How can I tell if the computer is bad?

    I did the 5.0L conversion into my 68 with the AOD. I had to shelve the project for a few years due to two separate family illnesses. Now broke and needing to move the stang, I am trying to get it started with no luck. Symptoms: Cranks and starts, but will die after about 10-15 seconds...

    Built 5.0 and Street Strip AOD for sale

    I have had a couple of folks ask if I can ship the motor or trans. I am glad to crate them up, but the cost will need to go to the purchaser for the crate and trans. I shipped the original engine with trans for $400 using truck freight; FYI. This motor per the the desktop dyno should...

    Are all timing pointers for a 5.0 the same?

    I am using the original balancer, but the motor came from a vehicle with less than 60,000 miles on it so I highly doubt the balancer has slipped. Thanks for the idea though.

    Are all timing pointers for a 5.0 the same?

    I found the other timing pointer LATE LATE last night in... of course the last possible box in storage. They are identical. I screwed a pressure tester into the #1 plug hole and hand turned the motor. TDC occured at 10* BTDC. I should be fine there. I have an extensive checklist that a...

    Are all timing pointers for a 5.0 the same?

    Thanks. I had TDC set when I put the cam in, but just never thought about the pointer as being a possible issue until I could hear my dad in my head saying "the most simple explanation is usually a good place to start". I will see if I can find the other pointer in the spart parts box to see...

    Are all timing pointers for a 5.0 the same?

    Guys this may sound totally stupid but the original motor I picked up for the swap way back when, had a cracked block so I had pulled a bunch of parts off of it so I could just get a new block and build it. It was from an 88 lincoln. I then found the 91 motor complete for way less than a...

    67 Restomod Progress w/Question

    Mark, Please let us know how it works out. You're issues sound so similar to what is going on with mine, but I am sure all the performance stuff is a major issue for me as well. I had also never heard of pulling the spout and MAF wiring. I will also try this tonight. thanks Stonecold...

    Hood Lock

    I am using the Mr Gasket locking hood pins. I also have an ignition defeat switch "hidden in plain sight". I routed the ignition line thru the cig. lighter. Out the circuit is broken, pushed in and it starts. Pretty simple I know, but I was told by a cop friend of mine that if it takes...

    FINALLY found out why my car doesn't run on its own!!

    Just a shot in the dark... my buddy that has a 93 GT and had a similar problem. He had purchased the car used and after about 6 months, it would not start, no changes, he was not working on the car... nothing. Turns out that the hack PO had spliced into harness that powers the computer (have...

    Need help with this crazy motor...

    Awesome info. I thing that the timing is the issue. I really did not change anything but to restab the distributor. I may have just over done it. I will give it another shot and see how it does. I am thinking now the "smoke was radiator fluid burning off as I forgot to put a catch rag under...

    Need help with this crazy motor...

    I know that I have been asking a ton of questions of you guys/gals, but I am so close and I need to ask one more question. The last question I posted I thought that I may have actually installed the cam 180* off of TDC, thinking I set it on the exhaust stroke rather than the compression. A...

    Am I just stupid? I think I may have totally screwed up

    It didn't run rough. It actually drove really nice, had a loapey idle (from the cam). It just smelled really bad. That's when I discovered that the MAF sensor was bad. I replaced it and thought it was best check the distributor to start refining the trouble checklist and to make sure...
