Can timing affect fuel consumption?
Correctly timed ignition will cause peak cylinder pressures to occur around 12 to 15 degrees after TDC. If the peak cylinder pressure is reached too early, power will be lost as the piston fights to compress the burning air/fuel mixture. Detonation may also occur, which can lead to engine failure.
How to set the timing on a Ford 300 straight 6?
SOURCE: 1995 Ford F350 5spd. distributor cap wiring diagram/layout!!! You can’t post conmments that contain an email address. I’m not an expert, but I have a 1990 f150 300 straight 6 cyl. as well and I drew you a simple diagram. hope it helps. If you know of a fuel tank switch for the dash plz let me know!
What’s the best way to adjust ignition timing?
Rotating the distributor clockwise will perform the opposite and retard ignition timing. Use a steady gloved hand to slightly rotate the distributor in either direction until the timing is within the manufacturer’s specifications. Step 3: Tighten the adjusting nut. Once timing has been set at idle, tighten the adjusting nut on the distributor.
What happens when you change the injection timing?
Injection timing, also called spill timing, is the moment when diesel fuel enters the cylinder during the combustion phase. When you adjust the timing, you can alter when the engine injects the fuel, therefore changing when combustion occurs.
When do you change ignition base idle timing?
Typically, when your car comes from the manufacturer, ignition base idle timing is set to a manufacture specification before top dead center. The timing advances as the engine’s speed accelerates, however, resulting in a variable that will need to be periodically adjusted using a timing light.

How do you time a 6 cylinder engine?
The timing light will flash in sequence with the number one spark plug. Shine the light on the timing marker. You will see the notch in the crankshaft pulley hover under the marker. Turn the distributor to line up the notch with the number on the marker that corresponds to your specific timing setting.
Where is the timing marker on a Ford 6 cylinder engine?
Move to the engine compartment and find your timing marker located on the driver’s side of the engine. It is attached to the timing cover, just above the crankshaft pulley. A typical marker shows “12-8-4-0.”
