What is the thing that I disconnect from the distributer before I do the timing? All I see is one ginourmous plug in the side, and then coming from that is a smaller plug that isn't plugged into anything.

 

anybody? I really need to get this done tonight.

 

the little small gray plug.

Check the tech articles next time...

oh thanks, sorry about that I didn't even thikn about tech articles. thanks I'll go out and do that now.

 

hmm as far as I can tell I dont have the spout peice. Theres a plug hanging by the distributer, it's a small plug, but theres nothing in it. It looks like what the spout would connect to. Can I get a new spout peice from advanced auto?

 

up top need help.

 

craaaap advanced auto doesn't carry it. Any ideas? Would advancing my base timing atleast keep the car from stalling?

 

well ur in a tight spot... w. out that the car wont advance its timing at all, its just going to run on base timing... better call a ford dealer, or check ur other parts stores around ya.... i hear that lil thing is ****in expensive too

 

well I changed the base timing. It's doing a lot better than it was. Before I could not coast with the clutch in at all without it dying. Now I can do that most of the time, except after I do a full throttle run and then cut out and coast with the clutch it, it still wants to die then, but it's good enough now to get me to and from work. Hopefully if I can get that plug thing it'll take car of the rest of it.

 

just use a piece of wire to jump it for now
