She comes home today...**UPDATE 11/7** September 22, 2007, 11:16:07 AM I know I've been lax on the whole act of posting on te forums but, she's finally coming home...Non running though...Atleast she will be out of the side of my buddies house and under my car-port where I can actively work on her. It was hard to get across town to get to his house...It'll be alot easier to do somehting people suggest right when they do, rather then try to remember it for next time I get a chance to go down there...Cliff: Cougar is coming home today, I am exstatic that I can work on her finally.

She comes home today...**UPDATE 11/7** Reply #10 – October 17, 2007, 03:04:58 AM Quote from: Haystack;182045check vacum lines and see if you can find tdc for the distibutor.Thanks for the advise man, but I've bene doing that and found it.For those of you that have followed or even glanced at this thread:I'm lost, She turns over, is getting spark and is getting constant fuel pressure.It fires and pops, but it seems like it is only one cylinder. I swapped the Ignition module out with a KNOWN good one and it's the same as before.I'm walking away for awhile and am looking to put her in storage or somewhere other then the house so Code Enforcement does nto get on my tail.I remember back before she warped the heads, me and a buddy heard a knocking noise, he convinced me it was the water pump bearing, well it's not it. I might have to rip the bottomend apart and do rod/crank bearings for safety, although, I haven't been able to get a socket big enough on the crank pully and see if there is to much resistance to turn her over by hand. I think a bearing is shot because my starter relay tends to start smoking after a little bit of turning over. Quote Selected
