Possibly. I noticed I have a little less vacuum now too and as mentioned earlier this could indicate bad timing. I set it to tdc and pointed rotor towards peg 1 so hopefully it's just the distributor rotation that's off.
If I'm off a tooth or two I should be able to compensate by rotating the distributor correct?1985 LTD Crown Victoria - Currently restoring after she caught fire!

one, probably. You've got it at 10 BTDC with the spout connector unplugged right ? As long as the TFI isn't jammed hard against something, the distributor is where it belongs.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

Yep got it today. I was a little off without the light. Ran perfect today. Tomorrow it's supposed to be cold out so It'll be a good test then. Hasn't been too cold out recently1985 LTD Crown Victoria - Currently restoring after she caught fire!

Have an update on my CFI-SEFI swap
First, the car has been running great with my new distributor and advanced timing, plenty of power and throttle response for the old lopo. I still need to wire in my NSS which is different than the newer harness that has been used on other swaps. My harness only has 1 wire which will be easy to splice together once I take the time to find it in the SEFI harness. I also need to get my tripminder working with the SEFI, mine is reading ridiculously (200MPG)
. It was fine with the CFI.
Second, My cars parking pawl broke so it is at the tranny shop now and while its there I asked the guy if he could do anything with the TV lever. (mine hits in park so I cannot give the car gas in park) he said the only thing he could do was fab up a custom lever or swap the selector linkage from a newer panther. So if I wanted to fix the TV problem I could swap the selector linkages, which doesn't really seem worth the trouble to me.
Since this thread was made a sticky I will probably add a final write up with pictures of major changes needed once I finish up the NSS wiring, hopefully it would help anyone else wanting to do the swap.1985 LTD Crown Victoria - Currently restoring after she caught fire!
