timing how to ??
just replaced a damaged and rusted distributor on a 95 f150 I6 300 4.9l auto
transmission.
here is my questions
1) runs great and smooth at idle. take for a drive stalls at stop.
2) i am thinking timing( to get it to start i set TDC)
- mitchell says set to 10* BTDC how do i adjust this back.
do i pull dist. or leave in place.
do i turn crank with socket or tap etc.

Just loosen the clamp on the dist stalk and rotate it clockwise until it works like you want, then tighten the clamp back up.
(at least I think that's the direction to advance a 6 - I usually play with V8's) If I'm wrong, try it the other way. [ccw]
