Holy moly, what a drawn out project, I have so many irons in the fire....
Finally got around to this thing, Pulled the valve cover, right wheel, and the splash shield. Rechecked my timing and had it slightly advanced, like 1 or 1.5 degree, so I timed it again, on that note, where do you get a tool to stick in the cams? I used allen wrenches and stacked up feeler gauges to hold the cams, and there is NO way to hold the zetec cam gear while tightening the nut, atleast not without some special tool. Just gotta hold your tounge just right and cross your fingers.....
ANYWAY, fixed that, hooked up the vacuum hose, put some more gas in it and it still started like crap. Got to fiddling around, and found that the plug end of #2 wire was boogered up and was going to the side of the plug instead of down on it, runs good now. Didn't find it until it started missing throughout the rpm range, now its fixed. YEAAAA!!!
I so want this freaking thing out of my driveway. I turn wrenches all day, I don't want to do it anymore at home, atleast not for anyone but myself....
I don't have time for this crap
