96 f150 5.0 timing questions
I have a 96 f150 with a 5.0 and I tryed to advance my timing a couple degrees but it seems like it had no effect .. does anybody know why... I could realy use any advice u could give me at this point

Did you the spout plug out. The timing wont advance with it in. It will eithet be on the driver's side on the fenderwell close to the firewall or down by the distributor.

Wat does the spout plug do nd Wat does it look like

Attachment 115029 Its basically a jumper. It allows the computer to controll the timing with it unplugged it will go back to its base timing which is 10° i think. Before you try again read this. http://fullsizebronco.com/forum/show...ht=timing+bump

That helped a lot ... thanks ... my truck is running better than it ever has
|
Could someone explain to me more in depth how the spout connector works? The idea of this overriding the timing as set at the dist doesnt make any sense to me.
|
Also just to make sure since my timing light is broke I havta turn it counter clockwise to advance it right
|
If it starts to idle faster you're going the right way. I believe you have to go clockwise. I wouldn't recommend doing the timing bump without a working timing light. It dont take much of a turn to get several degrees. If you go to far it will start pinging and thats not good. Everyone that ive read about on here doing the bump gets between 14°&16° before it begins to ping. A few have gotten to 18° but not many.
