Being new to the whole Ford thing (my entire past is Chevrolets) I am having a tough time trying to time my 302. The PO installed an MSD unit which managed to crap out taking the coil with it. It has since been converted back to a stock single point distributor (it had some funky electronic distributor in it) . I did this because the engine has a rebuild coming and I was going to get a new trick high performance distributor for it then. To make a long story short, I can't even see my damn harmonic balancer, since my car has A/C and PS. How the hell do you time these things? I don't want to play it by ear, because it's running like crapola. I like to try to be accurate about timing. It ran great until the MSD went **** up, now it really sounds bad, and seems to have a miss somewhere. Not to mention an off idle stumble that is tremendous! Any ideas or suggestions? Maybe I should put a 327 in it....
