Flexplate ?

[FireSale]

Anyone remember Bonzi Starts? Put it in N, rev it up and punch L and pray. Saw a 442 Olds blow the trans at Milan in the '60s. Broke the drivers foot real good. Last time the owner allowed that.

Danny: TCI changed it's logo recently. Some sort of anniversary thing. I have a new TCI flex plate and I can't find any marking indicating made in Mexico on the plate or box. But then it's a Ford...

I may not need it, but I have a flex plate shield and a trans shield on a C4 behind a 302. I don't want to be that guy in the 442.

Yes, timing can be an issue, especially with the engine hot. I have my MSD set to retard the timing 8*. Good grounding for engine block is a must. I run a #2 cable from the block to to the battery.

If you dont have crank retard on your ign system. The other thing you can try is. Get the engine cranking. Then turn the ign on. It seems to help some guys I know.
