Re: 390 no spark issue
"Light on the points trick".... Care to elaborate on that? I have a new timing light on hand as I lost track of the 50 year old light I had before. But have yet to use it.
Thanks

Re: 390 no spark issue
Yes, we did go round and round on what needs to be grounded and there are a whole lot of repainted parts on this thing. So prior to reaching out I had already hooked up an extra ground wire from...

Re: 390 no spark issue
Got it, I think.. Inspected all inside distributor and it was all fine. But I had done that multiple times before to no avail. So, I took out the NVOS points once again and filed them in case there...

Re: 390 no spark issue
The braided fine ground wire inside distributor appears ok. Had swapped out one of those with cleaned up ends into the first distributor. But I will check it in the present distributor too.

Re: 390 no spark issue
It is hot-wired so no doubt about power. But it does stay on all the time while cranking..

Re: 390 no spark issue
Yes, did that and it seemed to have too much resistance and so have a hot wire running direct from battery to coil + but still no spark with resistor wire eliminated from the circuit.

390 no spark issue
Have been around points-equipped Fords for decades and never had this much difficulty getting spark..
390 has new plugs, wires, cap, rotor, condenser and battery/cables. No spark. Ground wire...

Re: weld or JB weld spacers on lower frame?
I would weld them. JB is just epoxy glue despite the name. It should not take a real heavy circuit load to run a 110 mig. I have circuits set up for the welder with heavier breakers, but sometimes...

Re: engine swap
Although there are ways to get around it with a 164t bellhousing and a longer pilot bushing, the SBF would normally require a longer trans input shaft.
Easiest to do would be an FE 352 360 390...

Re: motor mounts
It should fit with stock 351c manifolds. My 55 has stock steering box with a 72 351c 2v manifolds. If you have 4v manifolds it may be hard to find info on that.
Another thing that could possibly...
