[A_G]

you will learn eventually....trust me...i drive like a granny now...i used to race (and it was quick) and i dukes of hazzard my truck and go mudding.

now what im left with. problems left and right........
well your not going to listen to me anyways.

You want a real nice launch. right before launch hold the brake and give it some gass about 1500-2000 rpms and when your read let off the brake and gun it....it will launch man....

dont do it for too long it will overheat the tranny

 

[5.0Flareside]

i know how to launch it. and i dont take it anywhere but the street. and i dont overheat it and i am safe with how hard i drive it.

Isn't that an oxymoron?

If you want it to crap out in less than 3K miles, sure!

They are hit and miss quality, I would avoid them.

Heck, I'm 40 and love goin fast, but after you blow up an engine and replace it, you start looking for other people that'll loan you their car to run errands so you can baby your own. Hey Tony, can I borrow your truck for a week or two??

 

[73F100Shortbed]

C'mon...don't be a pusscake Sean...hahaha

I'd like to keep the truck around awhile

The guys on FSB claim that the Street-Fire wasn't the one to get. :/
I don't know why off hand, but they claim the Blaster is the one to
get if you're going with an MSD coil. {shrug}

What would be good....

What ignition system would yall recommend? I want reliable performance w/o tearing into my engine. I plan on using this truck for offroad use, but also want road performance. I already changed the plugs and wires, but not the coil. Looked at the dristributor and it looks almost new. I want quality parts that will perform for a while. I also have installed a K&N hiflow air intake. Any other parts I can put on? I will be saving up so, I got time, but want to put a list togethar.

The truck is a 1990 w/ a 5.0 5spd 4x4

 

[flareside_thunder]

For ignition system? Either the 6L tune-up or the LiveWire kit......Chris, maybe your MAP is faulty and causing odd readings? Did you ever check your TPS? That could be causing things to be off as well.

I know you wernt talking to me, but what is the 6L tune-up kit? My truck has the same problems as the original poster does. I am new to all of this and need to know what these terms mean. TPS?

 

[flareside_thunder]

TPS stands for throttle position sensor...here's a link to the 6 liter tune-up. http://fullsizebronco.com/forum/showthread.php?t=63592

Thanks, I love this truck and want to take the best care of it as I can.

I was so impressed with your post last night, didn't know what to say,
"x2" just didn't cut it.
This morning is a different story tho... LOL

WD-40 and/or PB-Blaster seem like better choices for cleaning throttle
bodies (that aren't supposed to be cleaned than carburetor cleaner
or chlorinated brake-cleaner.
