simple as this, put new plugs in, hopefully the wires are good as well, make sure there cliped on and they have good resistance and stuff, follow the firing order, wire it all up, DOUBLE AND TRIPLE CHECK IT, i cant say how many times i thought i had it right, turns out i was off one or 2 wires... then after u have that, put the timing light on it, and make sure its timed correctly. after u do that u should be fine there isnt anything else i can think of.....

Hey Guys!

I need help big time!
I have a 1984 5.0 LX Convertible with 4 speed manual.
It was working OK (I just bought it) but I figured that a tune-up wouldn't hurt so I bought a 9mm Ford racing wire set and an original Motorcraft SP502 spark plugs. (Checked the official Motorcraft website and it was firing up at the first time!)
I changed the plugs, no problem but right after when I changed the wires and fired it up it was sputtery and almost stalling, the idle was very-very low and it was "coughing up gasoline at the back of the exhaust tip, squirting blackish gasoline!
Now I figured that I must have been messed up the wiring so I came here to check what has to be done! (I made a mistake and never wrote down my own settings what I had before the install)
Since than I tried all of these setups, 302, 351 and nothing! Not even a spark of joy!

PLEASE Help!

What should I do? Any more diagrams what I can try?


Thank You Guys!

Andrew

You should start your own thread instead of bump a old thread not related to your prob
