Thats what i was thinking... MAke sure you have the HO firing order ( 351 firing order) and not the 302 firing order...

The dist. may also be 180 degrees out...

ya me too it sounded the same thing as you explained. When you take the wires off you have to remeber to label each one that you take off. It will save you alot of trouble in the long run. Hope it is the wires or destributer for ya

i ran #24 injectors for a long time with my only mods being an ecam and it was fine- they were on there when i got the car. They were overkill but now their destiny has been fulfilled with heads,intake, maf, etc. that I have now.
