    off topic a bit 87 full size bronco

    thats the only thing i could find bad. but it does make sense though. the oil pump gear drives the distributer. valve timing is set by the cam. but i took the HO cam out. thats why no HO firing order. but it did the same thing with either cam . and both firing orders
