I bought a 1978 F150 Supercab 4x4 two months ago and I've got the carb rebuilt but I'm pretty sure the timing is off as it diesels and is hard to keep idling unless I set the idle higher. I did all the basic tune up stuff like a cap, rotor, wires and plugs.

I have no idea how to set timing on this 351M engine. I know it involves a timing light which I don't have. So for anyone in the eastern WA area that has some free time I was wondering if I can get some help on getting this done. I can throw in some beer, food, and meet up somewhere if needed.

Send me an message and let me know. I'd really like some help on this or even for someone to point me towards a shop to get this done.
