I would deffinatly have it tanked since you have it o...

Re: NEED HELP WITH 88 BRONCO II, PLEASE HELP!!
the ign. mod has nothing to do with base timing. it is the electronic control for the distributor. when they go bad it will do something similar to what you are saying and it is a known problem area with these motors.

Re: funny story thats not so funny...
yeah, they paid it. the worse part is our guy got the mechanic to admit the head was a bad design and that they were fixing tons of those. but they still wouldn't budge on the price.
