Hello,
This is my first post on the board. I just purchased a 1963 Ford 4000 with a 1000 hr 4 cylinder 172 gas engine. I installed new plugs, wires, cap, rotor, points/condenser.
My question is timing. The manual calls for 4 degrees btdc, but the fuel at the time of the manual was low octane, I think.
Can one advance the timing a little for cleaner running and better overall power with 92 octane fuel?
Thanks in advance!
Eli
