Double check the firing order on the cap  I think that's where the problem is.

We used to have a similar thing happen with U-Hual trucks (460) during a Preventative maintenance when some pinhead changed out a cap and rotor sometimes, and I can't remember exactly which they would reverse. PM'd a buddy who has my old job there, if he texts me back I can tell you which ones.

HMmmm, I would have bet money the 460 was a neutral flywheel delio (I don't do Fords).

Was the old one weighted?

460's are, for the most part, internally balanced, and the flexplates will only go on one way (Hole spacings force this)

Edit: Sorry about the pin head comment, wasn't directed at you. The guys who used to do this routinely did this 5 times a day every day and even the mechanical bays would miss it and it would end up in one of my QC bays to diagnose and fix it. You don't do this anywhere nearly as often and is an easy thing to do. Sorry if that came off the wrong way, I'm tired, lol

I've not played much with the MSD unit, Mine are Mallory (Including the new one I just bought for "Blue My Wad"), and it has a dedicated tach line that's supposed to work with any electrical tach. (Does not hook up to the negative coil terminal)

Just thinking out loud.

Those and the old Duece and a half canvas bed covers from the Army my dad still uses to cover his equipment ion the yard back east, lol. (Covered many a car with those heavy bastards!)

Ray

Do they have any with huge ass humps in the back?

X2!!!!! lol.

Ray

Never thought of Bass Pro Shops, gonna check them out!

I haven't heard a word. Gave him my cell number if he needed any help or parts or beer, or whatever. Haven't heard a peep.

Ray

Wouldn't an MSD 6AL unit also work with his tach and Dizzy? I'm thinking it would, and might solve more problems than that.

Ray

Check your ignition timing as well. Might have a little effect on this, but the 460 likes between 10 and 13 degrees in my experience. (can be kinda hard to do this, as most marine engines have dampners from different years, etc.)

Best , and easiest, way to find true TDC on a 460, rotate the engine backwards (Tighteneing the crank bolt) until #1 is coming up on compression stroke, when at TDC, mark the dampner with a silver sharpie. rotate over again but watch #6 and when it starts to go down, mark it again. that should be 10 degrees BTC.

Also a good way to find out if your dampner/timing indicator are even remotely close.

I think I see what you guys are up to today, lol

Ray

I'm up for it, later in the summer. Don't know about the rest of the PHX contingent tho. ( Forkie? TC?)

Ray

I'm liking the looks of this. Where is this place? Doin' nithing on the fourth anyway soooooo..........

Ray

I look forward to a free weekend soon. Ray, I will let you know if we ever get out. Still looking forward to meeting alot of you guys. I really haven't got to see what my boat will do out there. Everytime I try to haul ass I get the look from my wife. I can't wait to GPS it.

I get the same look from everyone else's wives when i try that too.

Ray

Wonder if I can resurrect my dad's old '49 Cushman scooter. I think it'd at least make a showing.........If not hold it's own, lol.
