    I have a 289 Ford, and I'm not sure what to set the timing to. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Mine is somewhere around 14-16 advanced. They like to have the timing put into them so don't be shy.

    Thanks you all. I've got a 66 Fairlane, hot rod blacked. I just gotta get it tuned a bit.
