Then use your timing light with the advance knob to check your timing. The number of advance of the balancer should match the timing lite number once you turn the advance knob to match the number you recorded off the balancer. (There may be an easier way of doing this but this is what I have done in the past)<br /><br />You need to bring out your tools and start checking things to rule them out as it could be a lot of things causing your problems.<br /> <br /> <small>[ June 11, 2010, 01:59 AM: Message edited by: Secnd2nun64 ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>306 fifty</b> <br /><small>Member # 6749</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2010,5,19,0,11,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> turns out it was the balancer. it was all messed up showing threads n stuff the rubber liner was out but what i want to know is how did it mess up in the first place????? or what causes them to look like mine did. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>fast 98gt</b> <br /><small>Member # 9307</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2010,5,22,6,14,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> they just go out i had 1 go out in a 94 gt that i had just getting old and falls apart <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
