Loosen the distributor hold down first. On most distributors turning clockwise will advance timing, CCW will retard timing. For V8s I like to set the timing like this:
Advance timing a bit, then grab the throttle on the carb and rev the engine to full throttle. Keep repeating these 2 steps until the engine stumbles or pings when you rev it up. When you get to that point set the timing back just a touch, and rev it again to make sure you are at the point just before where it wants to stumble.
8 to 9 degrees with a timing light with vacuum advance hooked up,
Gose counterclockwise on 302-360-390 and 460.
how to set timing on ford 1987 f-100 302 without timing light
It has a timing CHAIN
The timing for a 1995 Ford F-150 with a 302 engine is typically set to 10 degrees BTDC (Before Top Dead Center) at idle with the vacuum advance disconnected. It's important to ensure that the engine is at operating temperature and that the timing is checked with a timing light for accuracy. Always refer to the vehicle's service manual for specific details and adjustments.
Ford V-8 engines do not have timing belts.
timing for 302 small blockthere is two small marks on the two timing weels line them up and your good to go
The ignition timing for a 1970 Ford Mustang with 302 - V8 - 2 barrel carburetor is : ( 6 degrees BTDC )
10 degrees BTDC
To adjust the timing on a 1980 Ford 302, first, ensure the engine is at operating temperature and then turn off the engine. Locate the timing tab and the harmonic balancer, and use a timing light to check the current timing by pointing it at the timing marks while someone cranks the engine. If adjustments are needed, loosen the distributor hold-down bolt and rotate the distributor slightly to advance or retard the timing as necessary, then recheck with the timing light and tighten the distributor bolt once the desired timing is achieved. Always refer to your vehicle's specific timing specifications for accurate settings.
really slow dont have on really freaky slow
I believe it is 10 degrees BTDC
