It's allready been tried.:;)

So what happened, and differant? I know that with a 5.0 ford motor things change. Fill us in.

This crank is in a every day genral use motor.
Crank had to be rebuilt for bad bearing's.
During reassembly 2 an 3 were reversed, (by accident)
This is discovered after engine was started
So what the hell, swap coil lead's an give it a try.
Still run's ok today.

Since it's a every day fishing motor i cannot state any performance gain's.

The point of my question is to hear if folk's have tried this.
Tested like dyno, rpm's inproved flow. ect.

not a good "fix".:eek:

not a good "fix".:eek:

Well how long you think result's will take to prove this ?:confused:

[Fast Fred]

that time has passed, it's not a good fix, all you did is make a problem to fix a problem you let happen, i don't see how you can call that fixed.

In the mid 1970's Merc made this same change, or maybe the reverse of it, to their 3 cylinder's and changed the horsepower rating from 65 to 70. I don't remember which way it was changed. Other changes were made at the same time to exhaust and carbs, so not sure how much this change affected the power.

Mechine shop did crank work, not (me) i did not create this so called problem :confused:
So far result's are motor idle's, an run's fine.

Been quite a while, quess if we will live long enough time will tell the outcome:eek:

Thank's for your thout's FRED
