I finally got an opportunity to check the timing on the car today, but not much else as we are on out way out to a friend's birthday celebration. The manual indicates 6 degrees BTDC, with a notation

You are mostly correct. According to the "Workshop Manual", General Data, 6: B.T.D.C. for "static timing". Check out TigersUnited.com Workshop Manual for all specs. http://www.tigersunited.com/resou

If you are getting regular (related to rpm/light knocking) sounds from under the intake system it could be a collapsed lifter or a bent push rod. You might have over tached the engine as you went int

Running that much initial advance could indicate that the harmonic balancer has "slipped." This happened to a friend of mine with a 428 Cobra Jet engine. It had slipped 10 or 12 degrees. I was rotat

Do this first and then check to make sure that when it says 0 on the balancer the #1 piston is truly on top. The outside ring can slip on the rubber. -- Bill -- Hi, folks. I finally got an opportunit

Again, my sincere thanks to everyone for the excellent feedback. To answer a few questions: - The distributor does not have vacuum advance -- mechanical only. - I didn't rev the engine at all when I

Thanks, Curtis. The distributor is actually a stock Ford, I believe, with a Mallory Unilite conversion module. Do you know it the Ford distributor is two-piece as well? Shaun Shaun, One thing to look

Sorry to respond to my own post, but I just remembered that I received a binder of information when I got the car. I have just looked through it, and have found some information that indicates that I

If you use good plug wires and don't go silly on the plug gaps, then you can use the standard cap and rotor even if you're running Duraspark guts in your distributor. I don't know offhand if the old-
