im sorry i have been so annoying the last 2 months, i finnaly got a timing light and used that thing on cam timing in the tools and useful devices section and got the cam timing right finnaly thought it was the whole time but i was one tooth off and wow what a dif. that makes, well we put the timing light on it and it didnt pull to well under boost at 10* so we bumped it up to 15 and it runs pretty good under boost now, but other than that there is no miss or hesitation anytime at all, one good thing is it has all new sensors in the motor and i just put some new motorcraft wires on it tonight also, thank you all so very much and sorry if i was a pain in the as*, i love this site

Well dont feel too dumb. I will admit to chasing eveything else first, only to find out it was the simple thing the whole time. Im sure everyone of us has been guilty of that, especially us proud Tbird owners.
Atleast you chased it to the end. So many Tbirds have been shot down, way too early, for that same reason. I say congrats, to one more conquered.

Not dumb at all. Glad it works. Hope you learned the best way to solve car problems is patience and methodical procedure. Remember the mantra of Turbo-Bird owner, Grasshopper: DON'T PANIC!
