Help with Timing, Vacuum and Backfire - 289c.i.

[agazzo]

Thanks for all the advise. On Saturday (and Sunday) I was unable to do any thing with my Pony; because while I was driving the family car (1993 Ford Aerostar) I went out of brakes. It isn't funny! Thanks God I was going uphill and the Van weights a lot, so after slowing my speed with the transmission, I stop the engine to used it as a load and parked safetly; oh yes, it was 01:30am of Friday. So I spend the full weakend with the fat girl (the van, not my wife), it was a hole (really) in the master cylinder. I am going to try your recommendations next Thursday (is a hollyday in Peru).
