360 Engine Ignition Timing

Post by TNIceWolf »

Could anyone tell me the correct ignition timing setting for a 1969 f-35o with the 360 engine?

6 is stock but all FEs run better up at 10 or 12. My car 390 does 10 real well. My 69 F350 360 did twelve real well. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the dizzy and plug the hose. The engine should be warmed up and no lights or big radio on. So that it idles normally.
