Idle speed should be 500-550 in Neutral (stick or auto.) and for the automatic drive range: 475-525.
Timing: 6*
-"For altitude operation, and/or to obtain optimum engine performance and fuel economy, the initial ignition timing may be advanced 5* over the 'normal' setting. No further improvement in engine performance or fuel economy will be achieved by advancing beyond this point. Advance the timing progressively until engine detonation (spark knock) is evident under actual road test acceleration. Retard the timing until the detonation (spark knock) is eliminated. If the individual requirements of the vehicle and/or the use of sub-standard fuels dictate, the initial timing may have to be retarded from the recommended settingto eliminate detonation (spark knock). If retiming is necessary, it should be done progressively and not to exceed 2* BTC." 1964 Shop Manual.
Valve lash;
Cold: Intake... 0.019
Exhaust... 0.019
Hot: Intake and Exhaust... 0.018
All out of the 1964 Shop manual...
Hope I've helped :-)

My 292 has the #1 cylinder at TDC when the crankshaft mark and cam are twelve links between. All good. However, the timing marks are at about the 2 oclock position at TDC and the timing pointer is at about 11 oclock. That doesn't seem right. The only thing I can think of is that the pointer should be on the right side, it might be due to the timing cover being off a '62 engine and the main block being a 56?
