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 build would cost. I pulled all the "stuff" off the new motor to power clean and paint it. When I went to put the motor together with the new C/H/I (basically all new uppper components) I just grabbed the cleanest timing pointer and installed it.
I was not even thinking that they might be different. With the weird timing issues I am having I am wondering if it could be that simple?
