stumped
had the 54 ready for exhaust . charged the air and things got weird. engine ran fine but will not carry a load. a/c would drop rpm 400 , electric fan would lug it down a little more.
stock 5.0 out of 84 crown vic. 567 comp ex cam set straight up . low millage car that ran fine .
i pulled it and swapped in another 5.0 roller i had but would like to figure this out.
i had 15 degrees timing in it . vac advance was working .
????????

compressor was rebuilt . cold air around 230 head pressure . even the alt would lug it down .
same with putting it in gear. dies .
i'm a ford guy at heart. never drove anything else . but use sbc in all my other builds. never do a carb motor again. will be ls powered. except for my falcon. it will be sbf .
acts like cam timing . suppose to be something about retarding the cam in the early 80's for emissions with the TBI . cant find anything on it.Last edited by shine; 11-10-2018 at 07:01 AM.
We managed to get a couple of other small things taken care of. One was blacking out the front of the core support. When the sun hit the front of the car just right that green paint on the core...
