Author Topic: TIMING luni12 ¯ Member # 5938 posted                              I am trying to figure out how to do the timing on my 90 mustang 5.0. I am not sure if I have done the top dead center right. When I try to start it, all it does is turn over.

Put the #1 cyl on TDC (compression stroke) and stab the distibutor in pointing to the #1 position on the cap. More than likely, it will point directly to the passenger side bolt on the upper to lower intake plenum. Make sure it is completely seated prior to bolting it down; this will make sure you're completely on the oil pump interconnect shaft. Good luck! Oh, and set it to 10* with the spout disconnected. This is a good starting point. -------------------- 1965 Shelby Cobra 1993 Cobra 2012 F150 Raptor 2020 GT500 Posts: 6523 | From: Orlando FL/Redding CA | Registered: Mar 2002  |  :
