To set the valves on a 351 Windsor engine, start by ensuring the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke for cylinder number one. Loosen the rocker arm adjuster for the cylinder you're working on, then turn the adjuster until there is a slight resistance when the pushrod can no longer be turned by hand, typically around 1/4 to 1/2 turn past zero lash. Repeat this process for each cylinder in the firing order, ensuring to adjust them in the correct sequence. Finally, double-check your adjustments after rotating the engine through a few cycles to ensure everything operates smoothly.
if it is the stock engine then it is not a 351m because ford had stopped making the engine before 79
to my knowledge a windsor 351 is a ford engine. so how would you evem match a gm distributer cap
I have a 94 e150 w/351 or 5.8 liter and the sending unit is found on the lower right front of the engine facing the engine.
Depends on if it's an interference or a non-interference engine. In an interference engine, the range of motion of the valves overlap with the range of motion of the pistons. If the timing belt breaks, these parts will no longer move in synch with each other, and the pistons can smash into the valves, seriously damaging both set of components. In a non-interference engine the valves will always clear the pistons, and the engine will simply not run, w/o any further damage,.

According to one of Fords websites : For a 1988 LTD Crown Victoria , 351 cubic inch / 5.8 litre V8 engine : ( the spark plugs are gapped at .044 inch )
.044 inch for 351 M and 351 W
351, you have to look for a letter stamped somewhere on a visible part of the engine. If it's a stock engine, the door sticker should tell you. It's either W, M, or C.
Open a bit more the screw that regulates fuel input into the carburator.
how do I check fuel pressure on passenger side on 351 w 1994 f 150
No. Without a functioning timing belt, the valves won't open and close. And w/o the valves doing what they should, there's no intake of fresh fuel/air, and no venting of combustion gasses, all of which the engine needs to run.
