Got it, except my dist shaft is turning clockwise when I crank motor ? starter was also replaced at that time last year. Is it possible that the starter is incorrect ? Do they all turn the same way ?
Then what, don’t know where the wires go on the cap. Where’s #1 on the cap, then where’s is #2 on the cap then and so on….all diagrams I see on the net show the dist rotating counter clockwise, mine is rotating clockwise? 1994 seawirl ford 5.0 cobra omc spider. Doesn’t seem to be in any of...
Hi, all, the wires have been taken off distributor cap has been removed About a year ago. Need to try and get this thing running don’t know where the wires go on the distributor cap.. Ford cobra 302-1994 The distributor rotates clockwise ……all the diagrams I see the distributor rotates...
Thanks, just thought the people here would have the info. Trusting parts guys is usually a mistake. As I’m finding out boats and cars are much different. Will start at the auto parts place I guess then.
any ideas about what spark plugs to use ? 1994 302 ford cobra 2 barrel engine ? The ones in my old owners manual dont seem to exist on Amazon. Must have been a number change somewhere in the past. Thanks to anyone with this info.
in 1994 ford cobra seaswirl omc 40,000 v really. Was told they were less in the old days…lol I’m getting so much info. Glad I’m getting so much different info here in the boating world.
I don’t have points ? Also plug number in old owners man isnt available on Amazon what plug do people use in this engine. 302 Ford ? Any ideas ? Thanks for input
Ok sounds good, I’ll stick with same old plugs. I’m sure that’s my problem, boat guys here, car guys are my only source. Car guys say gaps used to be in the 30s because coils were not nearly as hot as old days. Thus gaps have gotten bigger with fuel injection and hei ignition Over the years. Old...
I’m guessing you’re not familiar with coils and this modification Due to lack of old parts not being made any longer. The coil apparently over heats if gap is not enlarged. It’s a common thing to change plugs depending on the coil I’m reading. Hotter coils 40,000 volts need bigger gaps. Seems...
Sorry, had a little family matter arise haven’t been able to get back to the boat for a little while anyways, fuel pump pressure is about 6 to 7 pounds. Seems to start OK at this point but doesn’t really run that great. Moving onto a whole different thing now I installed a per Tronics 1589 pick...
bolt patter won’t line up, couldnt reclock the two halves. I did try but They can’t be reclocked in any direction. couldn’t find a diaphragm kit either for the old pump I have. But this is all redundant now as I have the only pump that is correct application Without modifying lines.
Yes, I purchased that pump on eBay. Won’t fit without making new fuel lines, cant just turn the in and outlet around either. Rubber hoses on a boat kinda bother me when original was a metal line. is this common practice to just fabricate something to fit on a boat .
