Checking timing
So i think the previous owner of the stang had to much timing and now with all the mods its pinging under WOT. if i want to turn down the timing to i rotate the distributor clockwise or counterclockwise? Im looking for 12° of timing and i think the guy had it close to 15°.

It's been a while for me,but i believe its counter.If you are using a timing light,it would be easy to figure out.:tup

you know, ive done, full suspension work, top end, brakes, taken off every accessory and all brackets, but the thing i can't seem to understand/wrap my head around is how to check timing. Funny how something so trivial is confusing to me. Maybe once i do it........ Anyways thanks for the reply, a quick google check confirms CCW to remove some timing. Also i think having such advanced timing is making my car run hotter.

where on the timing pointer is the reference point? In the actual hole?

The reference point is at the pointer above the hole in the pic.

yep, retard by going counter clockwise

^^^ No need to sling out insults pprince! ;)

My timing has already been spun counter clockwise. I am as retarded as I am going to get.
