I have a 88 5.0 and I have checked everything that I can think of, but my car still runs rich and under hard throttle it spits and sputters. When I bought new plugs the parts store told me that they needed to be gapped at .54, but the book says .44, which one is it?I have set the timing at 10 BTDC, is that right? The last thing is the idle will not turn down even if I back the screw all the way out, any ideas? Any help would be great
Thanks Adam
