OK let's get one thing straight GUYS, that is SHE'S in NY. Thanks lol.....
The timing is right on. Plugs and wires are basically new, put in last fall. Parked Oct/Nov - April/May, like a seasonal limited road. Distibutor and Rotor, wasn't changed though. Again I say thanks for all your help. Maybe I can get this bucking Bronco back to the tamed Mustang it once was, thanks to you's.
ALL FEMALE> Rachel, NY

Hey, "guys" any good advise about weather stripping? I need to replace it on both doors, and T-tops. Looking to see if there is one out there better then another.
Thanks

Just to check....

You said you recently replaced the plugs & wires.

Are the wires routed in the 302HO/351W order or the standard 302?

I took the car in for the timing. It was right where is was supposed to be, actually 1 notch off, so they adjusted it. As far as the plug order, I cannot answer that. I asked how they were placed, and I didn't get a straight answer. I will be changing those again. How do U think it should go? Thank You.
Does it matter much that the car was a trooper issue?

According to the map there, that is how the plugs and wires are set up.

Hey PX429. No need to appologize. I didn't take it to heart. I thought it was funny. It is hard over these things to show you have a sense of humor. I wondered how long it would take for someone to ask that question. TY 4 u'r help.

Ok, the wires are routed the 5.8 (351W/302HO) way. All the wires are snapped on the plugs and cap tight? Check the simple stuff first. Is it throwing any codes?
