Am I missing something?

[Jhm89]

Hey guys. I own an 87 an recently put a used 94 350 in it. I used the top and front end parts from the old motor. The motor before it ran really smooth until its death, but this new one is fighting me.

The problem is from a stop with motor hot or cold, it bogs down a bit and picks back up, same with all gears. I have timed it and timed it. Maybe the distributor wasn't installed right, there water in the gas, or the plugs are too far gone? No vacc advance

Any tips would be great, just don't see what I'm missing.

how are you timing it

there is a tan wire to unplug then set a 0 are you doing it that way

I thought that was on 88+. Have never done that in the past. Ill give it a shot

all tbi motors are that way
as far as I know anyway

the wire should be under the brake booster if I remember right or somewhere in that area
