RE: setting timing

You didn't mention what the point gap was, which should be 0.017" for your engine. Set the gap first. A remote trigger to jog the engine is really a help for timing, also setting valve lash, etc. Better, if you've got a dwell meter, you want around 28 degrees (26-31).

Then, set the timing with vacuum line plugged. Ford says 6 degrees advanced at an idle speed of 650 for your 2bbl Windsor with std. trans.
This thread, so far...
