64 Galaxie 289 distributor setup wacky
I bought the vehicle with minimal information on the engine. I was told the engine was rebuilt with a mild cam and a MSD ignition. I am not an engine guy and the engine runs fine. Compression is great at 100# on all cylinders.
The spark plug wires are installed in the correct sequence BUT 180 degrees off. The number 1 plug wire is in the 6 O'clock position. I talked with MSD and they said the wire firing order is key not the location. So taking them at their word I relocated the wires in the distributor in the correct Ford location with the #1 wire at the 1 O'clock position with the rest of the wires in the proper firing order. Did not run, so I put them back. Should I leave sleeping dogs lie or get this thing sorted out. |
