Need Major Help
Got an 88 with what I though was an HO, but come to find out, I believe is just a 302 Standard Output. Seems to have a timing problem, lacks power and just about dies at about 5000 rpm...... any suggestions?

Are you sure it's not an HO? Take off the plaque on top of the plenum and look underneath, HO's had "HO" stamped on the plenum underneath the plaque. If it's a non-HO then the car will have no ***** at all, non-HO's were terrible motors for power, somethin like 150 horse and 200 torque... somewhere around there... There are 4cyl N/A cars that make more power than that

Well, the upper and lower intake are HO, as for the block and heads, I have no idea, I'm guessing SO

I changed the plug wires the other day and wired 'em up for an HO and got nothing out of the motor. So then I rearranged the plug wires to a standard 302 and it fired right up. Still doesnt explain why its dying out at 5000rpm, unles the computer is still thinking it's an HO when it's really not.
