Timing tab location?

Okay, just recently bought the truck, reading about the timing and advance stuff (has a little ping under load) and can't find the timing tab. Saw the marks on the balancer, but no tab. My vacuum advance on the distributer is actually touching the A/C bracket, so I think it is set a little advanced! Can anyone shoot me a pic so that I can try to "guesstimate" the timing. Oh, and I found out the tab is discontinued from Ford. No one around here has one, anyone?

Thanks

You should be able to find one from the junkyard. It bolts on to the timing cover. Get the screws with the tab when you get it.

Move the distributor gear one tooth over to clear the AC bracket.

Why not just move the spark plug wires over one location?
