Default Fuel sync?? Distributor off??

I started my 410 today and in ran only on a few cylinders!!(It sound like it)

It wouldn't run att all, I can get it over 1200 RPM

I have checked for errors in the ECU but there are no errors.

I have rechked the wiring and that is a real pain in the *** with the Kenne Bell on and it looks that it is ok.

Before we installed it whe have cheked TDC it is in line with cyl1.


What have I done wrong?

Thanks and greetings,

Erik.

The fuel sync has to be set with a capable scanner tool.

408 that is bored .030 to clean up the cylinder walls actually equals 410ci, IIRC.

It is a bored over 408 indeed.

The cat is already gutted so that can not be the problem.

I have built this engine put it back in and tried to start it it and this is the problem right now.

How can I check the feulsync?

Thanks and greetings,


Erik.

You need a scan tool such as a Snap On the the dealerships DRB-III. I don't know if an Auto Xray brand can do it.

Raise the idle to 1000 RPMs, loosen the disty hold down clamp, twist the disty slowly until you reach the desired fuel sync.

The range is -10 to 0 to +10. Zero is where it's set stock. I have heard that -4 is a good setting for a blower, but I've never had one personally to experiment.
