Here is the scoop on timing an engine.

http://www.fordmuscle.com/archives/2...ng/index.shtml

You will need a timing light, a 1/2" wrench, a golf tee,a tach and possibly a penetrating fluid.

Timing light = To read the timing indicator and needle

Golf tee = to plug the hose going to the distributor

1/2" wrench = to loosen and then tighten the hold down bolt.

Penetrating fluid = to spray at bottom of dizzy to loosen the strangle-hold the the block has on the distributor.

Tach = to measure the rpm for Timing setting RPMS


Engine timing values for a 75 360 = see decal on valve cover
