Anyone know or have an idea what the timing should be set at on a 390 block bored .60 over? Have it set at 10 degrees right now but not sure if it is right.

 

The over bore wouldn't make a difference. Below courtesy of Mil1ion on 1/30/08.

Thank you very much! Helps a bunch!

 

In need of info is a great time to order a shop manual unless your just going to flip this truck and move to something else..

orich

 

I've checked all the parts stores in town and none have a manual for my year of truck. But I haven't checked online which I should do. And I do not intend on getting rid of this truck. It's been in the family for a long time and it has more sentimental value to me then it's really worth. I'm in the process and resurrecting it but don't have a whole ton of money to throw at it just now. Just doing what littler less expensive stuff for the time being.

 

You can get one secondhand reasonable.

 

I've have two ford 1969 shop manuals volume 1&2 I'll sell if your interested.
Not like new tho. I got them back in the mid 90's as I could not find one for a 1971.

It also covers engine, 4wd trannys, front & rear ends, brakes, just about every thing working on plus. Plus cover some other truck models.

send me a pm

I wish my '69 manuals didn't say to refer to the '68 manual for diagnosing.

 

Lol, that wouldn't go over to well. The only one I have is a Chilton's and it covers 60's all the way to early 80's. So much stuff to sift through I usually use Google to find specifics. I have an old computer in my shop......

 

I have that Chiltons too. It's a very well done book.
