low speed. Have done the duraspark conversion complete, compression is very good 175-180 all cyl. At low speed it coughs when going thru the gears once up to 50 mph all seems OK nice and smooth. Timing 10° wires are new, checked for vac leaks and cannot find any. When I first brought it home it...

Hey guy's cannot find what the timing should be on a 2.8 that I did the DS conversion currently timed as specified on the sticker. Starts right up and idles just super and runs OK at speed, where the problem comes in is at low speed between the gears and in gear it bucks and snorts and I have...

Help, I have been chasing this nitemare for a week now and have or seem to have done all the teast I can. When I turn on the key there is no fuel pump sound (pump is OK) if I jumper the module it will pump, also have 12v to the coil and did test the TFI which told me that the TFI was bad so I...

:icon_confused:Can someone tell me if the ecm from an 84 Ranger 2.8 will work in an 88 with the 2.9? Reason I ask is my brother in law's range 2.9 will not run, replaced the pump relay (pump works) and the inertia switch is OK yet the pump does not turn on nor is there spark. Replaced the dist...

OK tell me what do I have to do to be able to design engines mainly Ford type?? What is with the Aussie outlet? =8')

:bsflag: Well bought me one of these dist and guess what will not fit the 2.8 now I am stumped, the drive gear on the factory dist is 18 tooth and the duraspark is 17 tooth and if I could just swap gears but the factory inside dia is smaller then the dura. Please any help on this??????

OK I am going with the duraspark system and have it ordered, my next quest would be to toss the smogger intake or any help?

I am curious as to wether or not the 2.8 and 2.3 use the same 4spd, I have the 2.8L now but really want to get rid of it and possibly go with the 2.3L, and another note the bad compression on cyl 2-3 was due to a chunk of EXH valve missing and the 2 cyl @ 60psi needed to be reground, I am going...
