So i went out to start the mustang the other day and i could only get extremely loud backfires out of it. I figured i would set the timing from base.
What ive done is, pull the spout connector, using a compression tester, bring the motor to tdc on compression stroke. Brought the harmonic balancer to 10° before tdc. Slipped the distributor in and dicked with it untill the rotor was pointing at #1. Went to fire it and all i get is the odd fire but it wont run. Should i just put the harmonic balancer to tdc and adjust from there?
