First off...the 3.0 Vulcan I'm working with happens to be in an '89 Taurus. The people on the Taurus forums really don't have much knowledge to lend if it isn't about '96 or newer models.
I'm having a problem getting the timing set. I just bought the car, and the marks on the balancer were way off. I put on a new balancer and the timing got closer, but still off. When I try to set the timing at the recommended 10* base with the spout disconnected, I have to retard it so much it runs like crap. Somethings not right. The balancer is new, the timing chain set is new as well. I'm scratching my head here. I can run it way advanced according to the marks on the new balancer and it runs great. Any help would be appreciated!
