My son and I are working on a 63 ford fairlane. Are there any online sources for tune-up specs. The engine is a 260 V8 all original and I'm looking for the proper point gap (dwell angle) and where the timing should be set. I tried to search google but I couldn't find anything. Also any good old ford forums you know of would be appreciated. Thanks |
| plug gaps are always .035 on the old fords, point gap is usually .017 .018 timing was always 6 degrees below....but then the gas was alot different....so you'll most likely want to go towards 10 degrees below...use an electronic ignition, and try different settings to find an optimum for your particular environment,...carb settings have a huge part too |
