Reply With QuoteAlot of times when the engine is replaced you can have a clogged up
catalytic converter. if this is the case you have slow to no acceleration,
no power. check the cat. With a new engine dropped in I doubt it is a
timing issue. check temp before and after cat. Take a shop rag...have
someone in the vehicle snap the throttle if that rag doesn't whip back
towards you have a clogged or collapsed cat. If you use a temp gun and see
very hot before the cat and very cool after that is the issue.....mac1833

C3 Diagnostic Lead - '87 Fleetwood w/5.0 Liter
I put a new block in the car and it runs great. Except it can't accelerate. I
think I need to rebuild the carb but in the mean time I need to verify that I
have the timing set correctly. The engine lable says 20deg @ 1100rpm, but with
the "C3 Diagnostic Lead" disconnected. It does not, however, tell me where to
find this. Can anybody out there help?
Thanks!
Dave
