All 1963-1968 Ford 289 V8 engines had the timing mark located 45° to the left of center, with the engine at TDC. (This is the left side of the engine, not the observer). There was a timing pointer cast or bolted to the timing chain cover, and the TDC and degree marks (typically 0-12°) were stamped on the harmonic damper/balancer.

To set the timing on a 289 Windsor engine, first ensure the engine is at operating temperature and then turn off the engine. Locate the timing marks on the crankshaft pulley and the timing tab on the engine block. Use a timing light to check the ignition timing by connecting the timing light to the number one spark plug wire and starting the engine. Adjust the distributor by loosening its hold-down bolt and turning it until the timing mark aligns with the specified degrees before top dead center (BTDC) as indicated in your service manual, then retighten the bolt.

Yes, the 289 Ford engine evolved into the 302 engine. The 289 was part of Ford's small-block V8 family and was produced from 1963 to 1968. In 1968, Ford introduced the 302 engine, which featured a slightly larger bore while maintaining the same stroke as the 289, allowing for improved performance and efficiency. Both engines shared many components, highlighting their close relationship within Ford's engine lineup.

On a 1966 Ford 289 engine block, the serial number is typically located on the driver's side of the engine, just below the cylinder head, near the bellhousing. It may also be found on the front of the engine block, near the timing cover. The number can be stamped into the metal, so it may require some cleaning to make it visible.
