Timing on 360 Engine.

I asked this question before for my 71 F250. Here's what they told me:


These are for '69 F100-350

360
Plug gap .032-.036
Points IMCO .021
non-emission.017

Dwell 26-28

Timing IMCO 6deg BTC
nonemission std tranny 6degBTC
auto 10 degBTC
Idle std 575-600
auto 475-500

390 is the same xcept timing
nonemission std tranny 10degBTC

As posted above and the general rule of thumb timing is around 10° BTC, but you can go by the seat of your pants and experiment with various settings…choose the one that causes your truck to run its best.
