timing
I have a 1984 f-150 300 inline 6 and i need to know how to adjust timing. Is there any vacuum or electrical wires or anything i need to plug or remove for correct timing. What would be the correct and the best tining for this engine. Thanks

There should be a small plastic plug that can be removed from its connector (called a spout). Also could be a connector that pulls apart. This puts computer in base timing when removed. It is usually located along the wiring harness near the dist. Wire colors are yellow I think. Timing is 10 degrees BTDC.

I think in 1984 the 300 still used a carb instead of Efi . Depending on the engine calibration some of the 300's timed at 12 Btdc . If the underhood emissions sticker is still in place check it for the timing procedure . Calibration 5-78-R01 timed @10 Btdc ; Calibration 9-77J-R12 , 9-78J-R00 , 9-78J-R11 timed @12 Btdc

There is a 1 wire lead next to the distributer you have to disconnect. It's black. That is the only other thing you have to do. Then the timing should be 10 Degrees BTDC. I'm running mine about 8 btdc
