I recently had a 1968 Mustang restored for my son. Before I took it to the body shop, the car started right up. Now that the body shop finished with it and changed out some belts and stuff under the hood, the ignition won't turn the car on. The starter and solenoid were both replaced because the...

Hi, I have been having some timing issues with my 1992 5.0. I am pretty convinced its my ignition control module. The engine will have timing advanced to nearly 35* at idle with the SPOUT plugged in. I will do some more diagnostics before I confirm its the ICM, but I want to start looking at a...

The timing is bang on 6 degrees TDC. The 2 barrel carb was rebuilt and seems to be working fine. The ignition system is using a dual-diaphragm distributor including a distributor vacuum control valve which also seem to be working fine. The intake manifold has vacuum connection the other is...

In the past I have had some issues with my ignition system. Mostly just the starter solenoid. Recently when I go to turn on my car the starter will get stuck. Not the solenoid, but the starter itself. It makes a very ugly clicking noise. Either it goes away after about 15 seconds or I have to...

Randomly my car just quits like it loses spark. Takes a few seconds and starts right back up. Does it again within 2 to 5 min. I have replaced dizzy, coil, checked grounds and still no luck. Fuel pump works. I have a Crane cams ignition box that has been on the car for 15 years. When the...

I have a 1965 mustang and I am doing a tuneup. I know the firing order is 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8. And i know what number the spark plugs are on the engine but how do I find the right point for them to go to on the distributor? What number are the points on it? Do i connect the number 5 spark plug to...

Hey guys, I just finished putting my 5.0 back together (no new parts, just fixing leaks) and it cranks but doesn't start. When I started the crank/no start checklist, I would get a faint spark at the coil wire but not anymore. Now there's nothing at the coil. I have an msd 6btm with a...

So I recently picked up a 1970 mach 1 with a 351M engine. The guy who had it before me put on an after market fuel injection kit that has a little controller box in the center console. There are a few problems im having but the biggest one is the starting. The car starts fine when its cold...

2006 Mustang GT 80,000miles. I have noticed recently sometimes, it seems random, when I turn the key to run (not start). There is a loud fast clicking. My thinking is something is wrong with the fuel pump or its not staying primed or something. The sound is only sometimes and it comes on as if...
