Last weekend help my friend John (Stonepony) put his freashed up 351W together. Now mind you this is something I have not done for over 32 years and he has never done. OK motor together last Sun. just a few oods and ends to do over the week after work. John gets them done and on Fri. I go over to help set it in the Bronco few small set backs, but we get it in and start hooking stuff up.(he wanted to go wheeling today) around 11PM last night we stop. I get a call from him aroung 9AM asks if I want to go for a ride to wach some other friends wheel and off we go. We get back to town around 12PM and he said he would call me and let me know before he fired the motor. So I end up going to town with the wife.( wanted to work on my Bronco today OH well). Around 4 I get a text saying in about 1/2 will be fireing it up help the wife finish up some stuff we were working on and go over to his house all he had left to do we run plug wires and fire. Get that done and turn it over no start messed with timing got her running and she sounded great. kicked up the idle to break in the cam and sit back and listen runs for about 10 minutes and dies. John says must be out of gas run and get some gas try to restart no go. I said lets start at square 1. Pull #1 plug to make sure at TDC pull the cap and its at 180 out. Tell him to bump the motor over to make sure we are at comperession but rotor don't move. So we pull the dizzy and 1/2 the gears are missing so now we need to find out why.
94 351/5.8
DUI Dist.
302 fireing order cam
I did the magnet test to dist gear before and a magnet held to both dist.(stock & DUI) thinking the cam may be a roller cam and dist. is not.
