The timing for a 1979 Ford 302 engine is typically set at around 10 to 12 degrees before top dead center (BTDC) at idle, depending on the specific vehicle and any modifications. It's important to refer to the vehicle's service manual for precise specifications, as variations can occur based on factors like emissions equipment and the specific model. Proper timing ensures optimal engine performance, fuel efficiency, and reduced emissions. Always make sure the engine is at operating temperature and that the vacuum advance is disconnected when setting the timing.
