The PO assembled most of the motor and I bought it as a roller.. I "think" it is a 89 5.0 mustang motor with explorer dress.
I did get it to fire up for a minute with just a short water temp sender in the ECT hole because that is all I can get to clear. I can't find a way to get the EGT sensor to clear the distributor.
If I rotate the distributor clockwise it comes close to clearing but then the distributor wiring runs into the serpentine idler pulley assembly.
So....Do I need to
Change distributors?
Change the ECT sensor?
Find a different coolant rail?
Relocate the sensor?
What is standard procedure in this case
Thanks
