Timing
hello everyone
I am new to your site.
I have just rebuilt my 72 351c 2v into a 4v. Ever since I have had nothing but problems. I rebuilt it mostly by myself. A friend who is a machinic helped when he could.
The problem I’m having is that the timing is way out of whack. It should be no more then 12 deg and no more then 36 deg total timing. Well mines at 20 deg and total timing is at over 50 degs.
After two months of trying to correct this problem the engine is bossing blue smoke and still timing is messed up. I’ve changed distributors 3-4 times and still no use.
Could it be out that much if the distributor is out a tooth or timing chain is out a tooth?
ino the motor might be f&@“led and this might be to late for a solution but if and when I rebuilt it again I don’t want this problem to repeat itself. Thanks
