Well, as you all know I was having issues with this 95 GT, getting 8 - 10mpg and having little power. This morning I took it to the Ford dealership and had them run a diagnostic on it.
Guess what!
N-O-T-H-I-N-G
Well, not quite nothing, the timing was @ 0* instead of 10*btdc? It was at 14*btdc or so I thought. Anyway, the guy said he fixed the timing and reset the computer. Feels like a whole new car, loads of power (as much as a stock 5.0 w/MSD ignition & mufflers can expect). We'll see on the gas mileage thing.
Thanks to everyone whom offered suggestions/help!!!

did you pull the spout out when you checked the timing? If not then the timing wouldn't be set correctly.

Yeah, check the harmonic balancer...My '94 flew off while I was racing one time...My timming was probably incorrect for a while judging how that outer ring flew off.....

Why are you doing a burn-out on a messed-up street?
