That “lifter” tick sounds like my old 289… it surfaced after running it REAL HARD one night.. chased it for months (rockers, lifters, pushrods ect).. it would go away, then show back up At different RPMs… discovered it was a valve guide…
It seemed to me it was hard to start once it was warm, which to me says timing advanced too much. I'd double check their timing procedure.....good to see it running though. I am interested to see how this ACES system works out for you in the long run, as I'm considering it for a near-future build.
It’s definitely the battery, it’s not charging, and think I figured it out. When the fans come on they kill it. Also we think the starter is sketch too. It came with the car. Didn’t sound the greatest, but better in this engine.
If pushrod length is off it can definitely hit under the rocker in the trunion area or rocker can hit the edge of the retainer etc, worth checking for sure.
I have an original 1990 Mustang owner manual. You need an ignition that has power on crank. In the manual it says fuse #18 powers the tach. Which of course has power on crank. Use an add a circuit.
@@shthpns22 i stole power from the starter relay to power a smaller relay for clean power straight from the battery…..although my mustang is a ‘67 but similar with the famous ford relay setup
Good job! You had us all stumped 😂. You could put antisieze all over the rockers and then start the engine with the valve covers on to see if they are hitting. How much preload are you setting them to (turns/thousandths)?
@@funkystangs2843 Well that should be plenty. Yeah, look like tin man, or forget you put it on there and pull the valve cover and freak out lol - been there done that
How do you like that Glowshift oil pressure guage? I really want one, but I'm not sure if I wanna spend $100 on one. Car is coming along nicely man, good job!
@@jeffreymceloryjr4155 yeah there wasn’t anything wrong with the belt. It’s perfect. Shrink wrap wore a tiny spot on the ring terminal and grounded out on the alternator. Way better now🤘
Hey funky. I have a question about the aces efi system as ive got mine installed. Ive got a 93 mustang gt, did a moter swap dropped a 351 windsor down in there. Looks like we used alot of the same parts. the car turnes over acts like its pulling hell of power to where lights n stuff start dimming, but has yet to stay running. Just got the hand held back first one i got was a bad one so he sent me another one. Any knowledge u can help me with. As to why it only turnes over but eant actually run. Its getting fuel ive confirmed that.. I need alittle advice.
Sounds like the timing issue I had. I believe it’s page 30 in the manual. You have to follow those instructions. But you have to lock out your distributor first
So appears I'm not getting any spark . besides the coolent temp censor are there other censors u would need to install that's not built into the killshot.
That's weird. The killshot doesn't come with a book. Just a page about what distributors it doesn't work with. An here I am getting ready to install the system in my truck
@@funkystangs2843 hell yeah man, nothing wrong with that, who wants to spend $1000 bucks on a set of lifters, I went from ford racing high revs to Cat. Racing lifters which was only 209 bucks when I first bought them but 259 Now I think, they are probably made by the same people that made yours and I just got burned more than you did on them 😂🤣😂🤣😂 who cares long as they are working and working fine for us, I've seen issues with every brand out there so I would rather not spend so much on them if they are going to fail but I've actually heard good things from actual people that have the ones you have that's put many miles on them
hey funky what are you going to do with the stock computer since your using the ACES now , hint hint i would be interested in it if if you would get rid of it, glad you got running brother hellllll yyyeeaaaaaa.
My buddy told me about a trigger wire in the dash. It won’t charge unless it has power. He ran into it when he put his Autometer Invision digital dash in.
You're not stupid! You're actually very smart for actually reading the directions!!! Awesome video 👍
Thanks! Busy putting the car together. Still haven’t drove it🤣🤣
hi my sbc when start the first time back firing and no start need help
Good deal best way to learn shit struggling a little and you never Forget 🦊🚗🔧💪🇺🇸
Exactly, I see some of the similarities to this and T-X. And I’m sure the other are as well
Way to go Funky!! Troubleshooting things like that is so much fun! Glad it was you. I mean glad you got it!! 😂
Yeah I’m glad it was me. If it was them, then that’s the real hassle
This helped me out a ton last night. Thank you sir!!
Hell yeah!! Awesome man!! I knew you had it! Sometimes it takes time and a lot of patience. Lol
Thanks. They were getting thin
@@funkystangs2843 Yes sir! You got it though! Thanks for the video and knowledge!

If you’re on the dash mode you can just hold down the icon in the top right and you can switch back and forth
Congrats man glad you figured it out!
Yes sir! Me too! Now I can do other things. Like figure out that alternator
Good that you solved the problem
Yes! Thanks, but I’m there will be more🤣

Awesome video manThanks for sharing 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
So glad I found your videos, instant sub. Im also going to be instaing a kilshot on my 90 5.0l.
@@TheFordtrucknut cool! Appreciate you checking out the channel
Hate when it's the simple things that throw you. Happens way to much for me.
You’re trying so hard with the complicated stuff, you miss the simple
the noise you hear from your rockers is from the rocker needs a minor relief from the push rod. mine did the same thing.
If pushrod length is off it can definitely hit under the rocker in the trunion area or rocker can hit the edge of the retainer etc, worth checking for sure.
I measured pushrod length. Stock. I say it’s the $120 linked lifters🤣🤣eBay Baby!!
My uncle would get frustrated working on crap and my grandma would always say “it’ll vex ya till it don’t” consider yourself unvexed LOL
Glad to be anointed 🤣
Some real problems going on with that valvetraim. Glad it’s working though.
Why didn’t you run it with the valve covers off to see if your noise went away?
I have Two breakers in line with my alternator… zero issues for years
Aces is just
5 mins from me you smart man I am looking for a kit for bbc
That lifter is unhappyyyy
Great video!! Love the information....
Glad you got it! I’m putting the same system on a 302 as well. Where did you end up pulling your ignition power source from?
I have an original 1990 Mustang owner manual. You need an ignition that has power on crank. In the manual it says fuse #18 powers the tach. Which of course has power on crank. Use an add a circuit.
Got it! Thanks for the info!

Antisieze? Nothing could go wrong there🤣 Zero lash 1/2 turn 20 ft lbs

You can just save the learned tune to the flash drive and reload your learned tuning file after the software update if you dont want to lose it.
How do you like that Glowshift oil pressure guage? I really want one, but I'm not sure if I wanna spend $100 on one. Car is coming along nicely man, good job!
I love it. They aren’t the cheapest, nor the most expensive. Middle of the road, but are really gauges.
Is it those cheap lifters
🤣🤣🤣 probably maybe it needs some Marvel Mystery Oil!!
Glad you figured it out
Thanks!!
The belt wrap on the alternator pulley doesn’t look right, I could see that hindering charging. Sorry if you already fixed this
@@jeffreymceloryjr4155 yeah there wasn’t anything wrong with the belt. It’s perfect. Shrink wrap wore a tiny spot on the ring terminal and grounded out on the alternator. Way better now🤘
@@funkystangs2843 good deal ! I think 1/3 wrap is like a “rule of thumb”. Could be the wide angle shot playing tricks with my eyes. Glad she’s good!
Im thinking about getting an EFI for my 64 Impala chevy 350 ... how do u lile the Aces and do you recomend it or go with a different brand?
I would recommend it. Holley is too expensive and their ECU is attached to it. Lots of people had problems. Never mount an ECU on top of a hot box

@@kimwilliams2699 no spark? Is it the Aces coil? Other than that how is your coil plug to the car? Cracked wiring?

@@happys104092243 mine came with a book. The whole manual is on their website, on the support page.
What psi is it running at? I plan on using a Corvette fuel filter that is regulated to 58 psi an a single feed to the TBI EFI
@ 40-45 psi
What brand lifters did ya put in her,
MaxSpeedRod BABY!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣

I knew you'd get it, brother
Thanks. The whole time I knew it was me😎
Can’t wait to try thank you
hey funky what are you going to do with the stock computer since your using the ACES now , hint hint i would be interested in it if if you would get rid of it, glad you got running brother hellllll yyyeeaaaaaa.
One MILLION dollars! 🤣🤣 Black Sunshine’s old ECU. For sale
For your alternator charging check the pulley may be to big. May a smaller one is better.
My buddy told me about a trigger wire in the dash. It won’t charge unless it has power. He ran into it when he put his Autometer Invision digital dash in.
Heck yeah Funky!!!
Congratulations funky..don't worry about it shit happens move on..😁
Already did 🏃♂️ 🤣
