You are welcome. You are the reason why I make these videos. I want to transfer the knowledge.

I have a 1965 A-Code 289 Mustang. How you determined 6 degrees? I've read 10-12° initial advance is probably a good starting point for a 289.

Thank you , big help good videos. What part of the world are you in looks like America

[@davidlis6709]

San Jose Area, California. 1 hour south of San Francisco

You should have disconnected the Vacuum advance and then set at 6 before top dead center

That fan is no joke lol

[@davidlis6709]

When I was 16-17 and knew everything there was to know in the world - I was setting the timing on my 57 Chevy and the wire got caught by the fan. It yanked it out of my hand and plastic went flying all over the place. I least I did not get hurt. My dad made me buy him another timing light.

I would have done the points and spark plug gaps first.

[@davidlis6709]

That is what I did....................???

[@wrong4538]

You checked one plug and never touched the points, unless you didn't show that part.
