Tune up specs needed
Am attempting first tune up on '73 f100 302 2v c4 2wd with headers and duels and my spec booklet says to see the engine decal for curb idle rpm and timing. After 33 yrs. there's no decal. Booklet does say fast idle 1500, plug gap .036, point gap .017, dwell 24-30. Could someone please advise me whether these sound right and what the curb idle and timing should be?
Any help here will be appreciated. Thanks.

tune up specs
Thanks a mil1ion, Mil1ion. One thing,though. OK, two things. If the '72 specs apply to my '73, the timing is confusing. Since I'm in CA (no smog reguirements now even if there used to be) should it be TDC, 6BTDC, 8BTDC
or even something else for best performance? Also any recommendation for
curb idle? TIA
