    The distributors are different between a 302 and a Windsor. There are also two different Windsors - the 9.2 deck, and the 9.5 deck. The 9.5 deck version is much more popular.
    It has more to do with the deck height than anything else (the Windsor is taller than the 302). Don't get confused by fact that the 302 is also in the Windsor family. It's all about deck height.
    Also confusing, there are two possible firing orders you can use on both the 302 and the Windsor - 15426378 (usually flat tappet cams), or 13726578 (usually roller cams).
    To find TDC, I just put a blue shop towel in the #1 plug hole, and turn the motor by hand until it pops out, and then finesse it to TDC on the balancer.

    Did you have to phase your rotor in the distributor? The directions have a whole page on how important it is and you have to buy an adjustable rotor so you could phase it properly but just curious on how vital it is

    • @DrivingForwardBuilds
      @DrivingForwardBuilds  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Once it was installed I phased the rotor to the pickup by rotating the housing. Right around 18:00 I showed how I did that.

    • @daltonnelson8024
      @daltonnelson8024 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      If you line the paddle up with the pick up then wouldn’t it change that alignment on those when you turn the distributor to phase the rotor? Having big issues with the paddle and pickup lining up but not the rotor to tower is why I ask.

    My question is, i hear a lot of people talking about how your typical GM style HEI distributor will have too noisey of a signal to run this kit.. but im wondering if not, seeing it in that 302, it seemed to run and rev just fine! Does it progressevly run bad if it gets warm such as a resisted wire like youd find in a old caddilac or something like it? Id like to just run a normal HEI with the kit to save a little money and just wanted to know if id screw myself by even attempting it.

    • @DrivingForwardBuilds
      @DrivingForwardBuilds  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      We only ran the HEI for about 20 minutes. We already had all the other parts on hand to install in the video series. I'd recommend reaching out to tech support with the question. They were really helpful. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

    • @DrivingForwardBuilds
      @DrivingForwardBuilds  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Initially we brought it down to 130. Then found the car really didn’t like the mild
      cam setting, even though the cam is pretty aggressive. On the “stock” setting the normal fuel prime has been fine.

    • @DrivingForwardBuilds

      If the trans is separately controlled there shouldn’t be a problem. This ecu doesn’t have trans control as an option.

    did you have a loud fuel pump?

    • @DrivingForwardBuilds
      @DrivingForwardBuilds  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, the fuel pump is pretty loud. We mounted it to the frame under the rear seat and even with the rubber isolator the sound travels. If we were to do it again we would go with the Edlebrock setup. amzn.to/458ABso This being a sump would isolate the sound a lot more and help with starvation from our old tank not being baffled.

      Well, that's become a loaded question. My friend has been driving the car trying to get it to learn and keeps running into random problems. It doesn't seem to be mechanical because the issues are random. We're not sure if the ECU/software is the culprit. Waiting to hear from Aces on the next step. My buddy is talking about going back to carburetion which tells me he's not happy right now.

    If the ACES system requires a locked out distributor, and their distributor doesn't already come locked out, then they need to fix that.

      I think they do it so it’s strictly drop in and you don’t have to worry about programming timing/ timing tables, just set initial timing and go. It’s optional to lock it and use the ecu for timing advance

      @@kevinwilliams1205 yes, exactly, it is mentioned in the install doc for the Deuces Wild 2bbl. You can run that system with a stock dizzy, but you disable the ecu timing control tat way and just signal the ecu through the tach wire. They recommend to set timing with a light as normal with the stock config dizzy, get it running and basic tuned, then lock out theirs and install/enable ecu timing.
