The CORRECT way to Set Timing on Ford Engines with a Distributor
To set the timing on Ford small block and Ford big block engines is simple if you follow these steps. This video covers: 5.0, 5.8, 390, 428, and other engines with distributors. We cover setting the base timing on the vehicle and then how to adjust the advance on the distributor. Timing is one of the more critical settings to adjust as it controls when the spark plug fires in the cycle. The distributor we are setting is a MSD Pro Billet race distributor, but the process should be "similar" with other distributors.
