From Duke's first post:
I figured that it was an ignition problem with a weak spark. I have replaced the distributer, running an Accel electronic module, replaced cap, rotor, wires and many spark plugs. I have determined that the plug is producing a good spark.
Have you checked that your pressure relief valve is working correctly or that your pressure gauge is showing the correct reading?
Were all the rods and lifters ok?
I will then paint everything the correct Ford blue which will make a great improvement to the engine compartment appearance./QUOTE]
I don't know about the Tigers, but in a Mustang the 260 block was black and and the painted valve covers were light blue, not the Ford corporate blue.
