Timing Eh?

[DarkKnight]

Ok, i saw two thing's it might be One is going in the engine... or something I wouldent think it be that. And the other looks round and has a wire going in on both sides.... Both of these are connected and. Come off the wire thing from the dist.

Any one have a pic? I did a googel but couldent find a pic on a crown vic. :-/ Eh... :-?

Also, do i need to disconect this when i set my timimg?


Thanks feller's

Well, i preesed in the one that has the wire comeing in from bouth sides, It went in maybey a faction of a inch. Then i turned my car over, And to no avial i drove it with no pops! :-> Should a find a strong rubber band and put around it to umm keep it together? My Engine still reved like hell but Hey..

It also still Stalled. Engine flooding and all. So im guess after this weak this rig might actualy be able to drive. Any how, Advise is very much Welcomed. :->

I've done timing by ear. I bring it to the brink of detonation.

Darkknight, here's a pic of the spout connector you need to unplug when setting timing, this is on a '90 TC but yours should look the same:

ya, mine is plack too, so is very likely the one on the pict too. I've never heard of sparkplugs burning holes in pistons. If your timing was way too off the car wouldn't start at all. Just get a timing light, do the timing properly, and you'll be alright.

[DarkKnight]

cool ;-)

When I did mine I crawled under my car and took some white out and marked 10* BTDC, it helps alot
