tune up specs for a 69 460
 
What are the dwell settings for a 69 460 c9ve.Also what is the proper timing setting.If anyone knows for sure please let me know thanks

24-30 degrees on the dwell, the timing depends on what else ya got going on it, start 4 degrees behind. Usually a good starting point for me.:-X10

Factory timing is 14 degrees before TDC on initial. 20-22 from the distributor advance. Old distributors generally need new advance springs and often new vacuum canisters.

Thanks, George, good to know, that's what Ford sets them all at coming out of the factory?

That's what shop manuals of that era called for.
