so what am i missing...

[wayne fontenot]

If i noy mistaken it should be body to block. I have always done it firewall to back of head

[thedriver33]

well its where it was when i took the old motor out....was one of the upper 6 bellhousing mounting bolts.

taking a break from it for a couple days....

[thedriver33]

gonna try non ho 5.0 firing order tonight......hoping it fires off.

[Sleeper]

What is the cranking fp at.

[thedriver33]

40 psi

[SEB]

Stay with it bro! Your close I can feel it

[thedriver33]

......dont want to have to change cams but should be easy....got the radaitor out and no front cover on the car....so i should be able to swap it out in the car.

[white88]

Are the valves adjusted properly?

[shumpertdavid]

I'm afraid you're missing something somewhere else. The cam/firing order will only affect 4 cylinders like I said before. I assume you're running 19 pound injectors, stock maf, etc. Is the coolant temp sensor plugged in, if it's not the computer will default to coldest temp @ -40 I believe and this will force the computer to run really really rich

[thedriver33]

stock injectors, maf. coolant sensor plugged in....may swap to a newer one.

are there other cam firing order.....like are there different cams other then ho firing order and non ho firing order.

[Sleeper]

Youll figure it out man. If you have fuel/spark you should get fire.

At this point are you sure you installed the cam correctly.

[thedriver33]

slide it in.....line the dots on the timing set point to each other. didnt think there was any other way....

if im swapping a cam it will be toward end feb.....was hoping to have this car done this weekend cuz i have 3 cars inline to get in my driveway to be worked on.....this ones is taking up my only work space.

[shumpertdavid]

if the timing chain set only had 1 key way then that sounds right. If it's an adjustable timing set, then there would have been 3 key ways minimum to choose from and you have to align the corresponding marks

[SEB]

If you have Fuel & Spark. Its something simple. I was thinking the Starter Solinoid or maybe try a different Dist

[thedriver33]

only had one key...was a stock replacement set.

if its the dist....would i still be getting spark at the plug? i know im getting spark at #1.....tested that.
