I'll try to find that wire once again today!

My exhaust for now

Nice! Bet it's pretty throaty. I have tiny straight through mufflers on mine, it's pretty loud. Sounds mean though!

Well I'm going to remove my gt40p heads and sell them. Tired of dealing with the spark plug boot clearance. Saving money for TF aluminum heads.

TF are great heads. I have those mixed with TF Stg 2 cam and 1.6 Scorpion rockers. Just enough clearance with stock pistons and sounds great. Should make good power too.

Nice! I'm just going to stick with my E cam for now. Which TF heads do you have?

jrmotorsports55 01-02-2017 05:44 AM

I have the plain jane ones (TFSSBF1, I think). They are older and I got them second hand off ebay.

As it sits as of now. Tried to start her but didn't want to start. There is spark, fuel, and air. I'm thinking I over tightened the rocker arms and some were very loose.

Check your distributor is not 180 off. It's a common/easy mistake.

Yeah, it was off the first time, but then I restabbed it correctly and nothing.

If you still haven't found that tach wire try pulling the gauge cluster and looking at the back. All the traces on the printed circuit are labeled with the gauge they run to. Find the tach one and trace to the plug that plugs into it. Tap it there is you like.

Is there a better connection for the ignition module wires to the dizzy? After doing some few runs around the block the wire keeps coming off. I don't like the individual wires.

If you bolt the module there, it won"t lose connection. That is where Ford engineers mounted MILLIONS of them.

Well, yeah, but I bought Jason's relocation kit and I would think it'll be more secure.

I would say to be sure your connectors are tight enough to "hold" onto the tabs they connect to and use a zip tie or two to ensure nothing is pulling on the wires...

Make sure the male tabs of the jumper are in the corresponding female connectors and not just next to them. It is very easy to have them between the connector and the housing as opposed to in the connectors themselves.

The tabs have been crimped slightly to hold them in place.

Once its in place also make sure to connect the jumper to the distributor with one of the small zip ties in the kit. Use the open hole that originally attached the module. Doing this takes tension off those connectors.

It will also likely overheat eventually. I've sold 714 kits to date to fix the problem.

With a 3/4 tank of gas and some tools in the back.
Not too bad.
