To set the timing on a 1967 Chrysler 383 big block, first ensure the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke for the number one cylinder. Next, use a timing light to check the current timing mark against the timing tab, which should be set around 5 to 7 degrees before top dead center (BTDC) for optimal performance. If adjustments are needed, loosen the distributor hold-down bolt and rotate the distributor slightly until the desired timing is achieved. Finally, tighten the distributor bolt and recheck the timing to ensure it remains accurate.
To set the timing on a 1967 Mercury 50hp outboard, first ensure the engine is in good condition and the spark plugs are clean. Use a timing light and connect it to the spark plug lead of the number one cylinder. Rotate the flywheel to align the timing marks on the flywheel with the mark on the engine's housing while adjusting the ignition timing to achieve the specified degrees before top dead center (BTDC) as indicated in the service manual. Finally, secure all components, recheck the timing, and ensure proper operation.

typically if the motors idles and revs, but dies under any kind of load (put into gear) then you have your timing set wrong. you need to use a timing light and make sure that it is set correctly before and after the timing advance. that would be the place to start.
