Extensive timing instructions are provided with all of our carburetor restorations. The following is an excerpt from our instructions.

"The number one problem in the industry concerning engine drivability is ignition timing . Timing lights do not work -the reason is; timing marks are located on your harmonic balancer. The harmonic balancer is mounted in rubber and over the years they MOVE.

Whenever our clients call us concerning drivability problems (hesitation, flat spots, surges) 99% of the time, the problem is ignition timing. We will share with you an accumulation of many years of experience and if you follow our GOOF PROOF method -you will be rewarded with the best drivability and performance you have ever experienced.

THE THEORY:

All Ford engines will run better, deliver more power and give better fuel economy with the timing advanced BEYOND factory specifications. Premium unleaded fuel is recommended (especially in six cylinder engines). After you have read the procedure, your engine will perform the best when the engine will either just barely "ping" on full acceleration or not quite "ping." (PINGING indicates timing advanced too far.)"
