Ok so I have a 1985 GT I took all the emissions equipment off and among other things like a cam and manifold so anyways I got it running the other day it runs like shit(has all kinds of vacuum leaks) but it runs
So I know their are two firing orders HO engines and non HO 5.0s mine is supposed to be an HO but it would only start when I did the non HO firing order, was wondering if anyone has encountered this or knows anything about this?

is your block set for a roller cam or was it a flat tappet cam

Roller, the block is from a 1990 but I believe the original was flat tappet
