I’ll take your advices and just check every single ground. This can IS 47 years old so there’s a good chance.
Thanks guys.

Those are new, I checked those after grounding the sending unit to the body and checking for cont.

Sorry, been busy, so the truck has been running fine. It was indeed the coolant temp sensor. Thanks guys for the inputs. banana:

I work at autozone, all we have is CRC throttle body cleaner.

Noted, thanks.

I guess I can use something not too strong like MAF cleaner?

Thanks guys.

Ok, so the vehicle will start on the first crank of the day. runs fine under a load now, but still the same problems after. She’ll start under purge mode but only if I try to start it long enough, it seems to be an air issue. The injectors are firing, used the Mechanics stethoscope and can hear them ticking. Idles beautifully. I’ll check on the coolant temp next. I’m going to take out the throttle body and give that a nice cleaning as well. The return spring needs to be replaced.

Updated new parts:

Air:

IAC (Idle surfing again, will need a new one.)
Intake tubing
Air Filter

Ignition:

Ignition Coil
Plug wires
Plugs (Gapped properly)
Cap and Rotor
TFICM

Fuel:(Tank dropped and checked, pump is working as should. Constant 38psi @ rail)

Fuel Filter
New Fuel
Fuel Pressure Regulator

Thanks again guys.

Bit of both. I’m trying to find a diagram of a 302 2b windsor so i can see how the whole thing is routed. So far no luck there.

Thanks. Trying to find out why she kills in a hard turn now. Something to do with the power steering I take it. Floor pans need to be replaced from the firewall to the end of the trunk, other stuff to patch/repair is that horrid roof and convert to hardtop and the doors and panels.
