Hello,
Some of you will remember my ongoing dilemma. My 1967 Mustang with a 200 six keeps going out of time. It is a rebuilt motor with about 10,000 miles on it. I can move the distributor and get it to run again. I have replaced basically everything that will unscrew or unbolt!
I'm 99.9% sure it is a timing issue...
I changed the distributor (reman load-0) and it made no difference. I can time the car + adjust points it will idle and run then timing moves and I'm screwed.
I pulled #1 spark plug, located compression stoke, confirmed rotor pointing at plug wire #1, then check that harmonic balancer showed TDC (close to it anyways). This is after a different distributor...
I'm going to pull the valve cover and look for anything suspect, then I guess pull the timing chain cover.
I guess it is the timing chain?
Would a stretched chain behave this way?
