ford racing 24lb injectors,played with the timing got it to run but sounds like its running on 4 cyl ,the msd distributor is not sitting all the way on the manifold the shaft might be hitting the oil pump , im trying a stock distributer tonight ,and a few other tricks ,i talked to a ford mechanic today he told me a few things to try .ill keep posting the status....................................

ok got it, here is a good tip when working on your car have some good sleep,dont hook up your distributor wires at 200 in the morning because you might do it clockwise instead of clockwise ..... hey live and learn lol ..just have fix a few vacuum leaks and i should be good .........................................

Lol, that will do it. How are you running the stock maf if it's calibrated for the 19lbers and you are running the 24s?
