Red face need help/tune up specs.

Hello to all!
I am new to this site (so be gentle). Recently purchased a 1964 1/2 ton with a straight 6 and need tune up specs. Any information will be great help. i.e. plug gap/dwell/timing etc.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. You can e.mail me direct at:
mhartford1@verizon .net
Thank you.

Hi, here is what I could dig up. Plugs Ch870, gap 0.035in. Point gap 0.025in. with cam angle 36degrees. Timing 4degrees before if manual, 10 if auto. Idle speed 500rev. Fuel pump press. 3.5-5.5psi. Firing order 1-5-3-6-2-4.
Hope this helps, nice to see someone looking after the older stuff.

Thumbs up

Lazy K,
Thank you for the info. Hoping you and yours the Best during this season. I wouldn't have anything other than an older car/truck as a daily driver. Our "other car" is a '64 Fairlane sedan that is 80% restored. Have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Semper Fi,
