Re: knocking mustang 5.0
because ths correct way is to set the rotor position between 12 and 1 o'clock at tdc and the set the dis cap so its on #1..if the shaft gear isnt meshed on the same spot on the cam drive gear from the factory, you will hit the water neck when ur trying to get the timing set

Re: knocking mustang 5.0
I've never had a problem hitting the water neck before, but technically you could set the dist any way you want as long as the start the firing order is on number one and the wires follow suit on the cap. It might be different from what you do but definately not WRONG. Even Ford suggests to do it the way I've described, that's how I learned anyway some 13 years ago, hasn't failed me yet. Just actually got a car running for the first time after a rebuild for a buddy of mine, it had an engine fire and he picked it up for only $450. We have him advanced to 14 degrees and are not even close to the water neck....

Re: knocking mustang 5.0
Not the right way? Ok then, not trying to get in a pissing contest with you. I'll just keep doing it wrong and doing it wrong for all my customers too.
