Bit of a long shot I know. but anyone know what the timing should be set at for a 3 litre Ford v6 Essex engine from circa 1978??? Theres 3 blobs on the pulley but gawd knows what they say.

 

Any pointers gratefully appreciated!

:cool:

take it thats from the Capri ?

 

Try http://www.capriracing.co.uk/forum/default.asp

from a 3.0 capri 78 vintage:

 

static 10 deg

or 14 deg at 800rpm without vacuum

Actually sat in a 1970's TVR M Series. Just finished rebuilding it with my Dad but need to get it running better before I can sell it for the next project.

 

I knew PaulC would be the man!!! Which mark to set it to though??? There is just this large amorphous blob on this one, about 1/4" in size, no pointer, no guide, jack all.
