    Broken down for 8 months, after failures on the way back from a carshow, my Ford does not want it anymore, I changed everything that is the ignition! there it starts but farts very hard in the exhaust, it does not hold the slow! Is this due to a bad wiring of the ignition where what??I have put piston 1 to the PMH, ignition, finger on the 1 of the ignition head and when I start it malfunctions and I can not fix the marking on the pulley, the marking is below while it should be above to fix the advance where the delay! All to the stromboscopic lamp !! Would I have 1 lap too much on my ignition ???
    Help me please !! I'm so sad

    If you have the original Ford condenser put it back in, there has been a lot of problems like yours on a lot of Ford forums caused by offshore made condensers.

    Follow the #1 spark plug wire from the plug back to the ignitor cap. Mark the ignitor body below the spot on the cap where #1 plug wire is. Remove cap and point rotor as close to mark as possible. Start engine and time with timing light.

    Direct it the #1 spark plug wire, then follow the rest of the wires to the correct firing order in the correct rotation of the rotor.

    A friend told me that this could come perhaps from an air intake to my carburettor which is still new !

    check for a hole rotted throuth to the exhaust manifold when you remove the carburetor. had this same problem. would only run at high rpm....****ing in exhaust from the hole. Had to buy new intake manifold

    If you have an intake and exhaust that both come off the head are they both perfectly flat? May try and squirt some starting fluid around the manifolds and see if there is a change in RPM's. If you have changed all of the ignition parts, correctly timed the engine then that leaves fuel/air. Just my two cents worth.
