#1970 ford t bird how to
Yes, look up videos on how to use a Vacuum Gauge to set timing it can also be used to adjust Carburetors. Has anyone put a 61 f100 in ivory on a more modern frame? Reply Remember jumping the solenoid to advance the engine? Reply Had to keep a screwdriver & feeler gauge in the glove compartment just because. The points would close like clockwork every 3,000 miles. I don’t remember if it was a Cleveland or a modified. I bought a ‘73 Ford LTD with a 400 4bbl stock. Remember, these marks moved due to an issue and until that issue is resolved, they may (or may not) continue to move. I’m not saying this is the case but if your timing marks have moved and you re-establish the marks by whichever method you choose, you still can not rely on these “new” marks.

You are correct, there are no points to adjust anymore and therefore no dwell to set… that’s a good thing. It is possible to apply a new timing mark, but you would need to bring the engine to absolute Top Dead Center (TDC) on the compression stroke and mark the harmonic at the indicator. Sometimes the factory mark is not pronounced or filled with rust, grease, dirt, etc…Ĭlean, wire brush, sand, or whatever it takes to properly locate the timing mark. You must establish a timing mark on the Harmonic Balancer in order to properly time the engine. The timing marks can be tough to locate on the Ford 390’s of that era, although I assure you the marks are there. Is there any other way to check the timing to make sure everything is right on? I can’t check dwell because there is no longer a separate coil. I want to make sure the timing is right but I cannot see a timing mark on the balancer. I have a 65 t-bird with a 390 and I just changed over to electronic ignition.
