5.0L (1979-1995) MustangTechnical discussions on 5.0 Liter Mustangs within. This does not include the 5.0 from the 2011 Mustang GT. That information is in the 2005-1011 section.
Yea you might want to take a little sand paper to that balancer and see what your timing is at. Its not exaclty something you can get by the sound of it.
Get your balancer cleaned off and set that timing to 14*, then if it pings back off a degree or two until it stops.. Setting timing by ear is not the best way to do it.. 10* is the stock setting from the factory. Make sure you are setting the proper way also.
Holy hell, I didn't even notice the age of the thread. Why is it that people bring up this old ****. And whats even funnier is when someone points out how old it is others keep responding to the OP. hahaha
