looks like an msd one or just a factory style one but it looks as if number 1 is at the back placed right where it should be..so as long as the distributor is set in correctly all should be fine

Dang i wish somebody lived nearby, i think im doing everything correctly and its still not working out... So the dial in the distrubuter spins counter clockwise correct?

mjr46

not sure if this will help , u might already have fixed this but ... https://mustangforums.com/m_3264510/tm.htm this is a great post on stabbing the dizzy...

I was just saying the car is running right because of this timing problems im having, lol and i printed that stabbing dizi guide. Thats why im sure im doing everything correctly.

Aighty i been messing with it all morning, finally got it to were it will start right up but it idles very low, maybe 500rpm or a little lower. Anyways i have tried adjusting the timing a little while its running and it doesnt really change the idle so i think i may have a problem elsewhere... Now while running it makes a pretty loud ticking noise coming from the right side valve cover. Im thinking it has to do with when i had to take the rocker off and all of that. I tried to adjust it back to the best of my knowledge but dont think i got it quite right. But if one or more of those rockers are out of adjustment would it make the ticking noise im talking about? Also could it change idle speed?
