ok, so i bought 2 1990 thunderbirds and dissected them both and built one from the 2 of them.
i tried to match as many parts off of one whenever possible. the block was over bored by 10 and then i put in new pistons with the rings to match,
head is ported, and gasket to match.
now we had some real issues starting it initially, but moved the crank sensor a half turn and then we had ignition.
i had started it 3 times through the winter while it was in storage to keep everything lubricated and whatnot.
now last week i went to start it and there was nothing. it would turn over but not ignite.
now our original diagnosis was the cold last fall but now it seems to be the opposite way.
any advice would be helpful.
thanks
