    Truck stutters over 10 psi.

    Re: Truck stutters over 10 psi. It ran good/fair at low boost. More than likely its spark blow out. Just for kicks..you can try ohming the injectors and checking the sensors for shorts giving a exsessive rich condition.

    idle again

    Re: idle again Ok only reason I said to check the grounds from the engine to battery and from frame to ECM and battery is that the O2 low refrance input is on the ground wire. IF your O2 is not ground right,,it will give a false O2 reading to the ECM along with garbage signals from RI, giving a...

    Boosting the 3/4 305 ..(229ci.

    Re: Boosting the 3/4 305 ..(229ci. Well I just rememberd the turbo ford guys lock thier electric dizzys at the track and get away with it.

    Brisk Spark Plugs

    Re: Brisk Spark Plugs Those look like marine plugs with holes on the side. I will only deal with coldrange copper plugs with a nice back cut. Everything else is a gimic. Those look like good plugs so as long as they didn't put any alloy other than copper.
