What should the idle speed be on a 1967 Ford 300?

What should the idle speed be on a 1967 Ford 300?

Ignition timing should be measured with the engine running below 550 rpm. Idle speed should be adjusted to 500 rpm for engines with AIR. For non-AIR engines, idle speed should be set to 600 rpm for manual transmissions, and 525 rpm for automatics (with air conditioning on).

When did the Ford 352 V8 come out?

1967 Ford 300 Tuneup Specs. The Ford 300 is a 300-cubic-inch (4.9-liter) inline six-cylinder engine that was first unveiled in 1965 and put to use mainly in light-duty trucks. Bore diameter is 4.00 inches and stroke length is 3.98 inches, making the engine slightly oversquare.

What should the ignition timing be on a 300?

Some 300s include an air injection reaction (AIR) system for reduced emissions. For these engines, ignition timing should be set to top dead center (TDC). Without AIR, ignition timing should be 6 degrees before top dead center (BTDC) with a manual transmission, and 10 degrees with an automatic.
