Question 351m questions

okay, so i got a couple questions for those of you who got 351m's in these old f150 4x4's

How many turns out do most of you have on your jets on the stock 2bbl carb?

What's the ignition advance most of you got on your trucks?

will the weight of the vehicle affect either of these?

Idle mixture screws are different from engine to engine. Everything including air density, atmospheric pressures as well as timing, fuel used, compression, cam timing, heak everything will act as a variable here.
What you need is a decent vacuum gauge. Otherwise you will just be guessing.

I bet your stock 351m hates you with those 3.50 gears and 36x14.50s tires. I guess the manual tranny makes it not as bad.
