What is the proper timing setting for a 1956 Ford 600?

Your ESSENTIAL MANUALS have all the information in it. Don't have them? Invest in them. Here are a few pages to get started. Set up for 6V/POS GRN or 12V/NEG GRN??? Distrubutor is the same but if 12V get a 12V coil.

Be sure you set the timing correctly after you rebuild the distributor? Timing setting is: 8N = 4 BTDC; NAA/600 = 8 BTDC; 800 = 5 BTDC. Use a timing light. New plug wires - verify firing order: 1,2,4,3 CW. Verify battery meets specific gravity and sustains a full charge under load. Don't assume just because you have a 6V battery or a 12V battery the electrical is set correctly for that system. Get copies of the ESSENTIAL MANUALS if'N ya wanna be a FORD TRACTOR owner.
