Default Re: U/SA Build 1978 Ford Futura 302

Now to recurve it! Most ford distributors, I've found have 20-35* of mechanical timing which you never see until you go above 4500 or so. The new one I put in mine was only at 13* initial, no vac and yet was still going to 45* when revved past 5000. Not sure if you know but there are two different slots to limit mechanical advance, I always brazed it up so I had minimal advance and then file it out a little at a time so total was whatever I wanted.

Good toy see you back at it!
