Re: Fords don't need Mr. Goodwrench!

I bet your uncle the Ford nut is not going to let you for get about that defective AC Delco 'GM' spark plug being defective and causing the problem. Glad to hear it's fixed.

Re: Fords don't need Mr. Goodwrench!

With it afterfiring out of the exhaust, your timing has got to be off. Look at this way, the exhaust valve is open when the plug is firing. I would check to make sure the dist is in correctly.
