Post by: Pinto_dude on February 17, 2005, 09:04:19 PM

Hey, my car is running and almost done. Just a couple of loose ends. The engine block is from an 82 muststang. Everything else is from an older pinto. Rotor with points, carb without all the smog junk. No power brakes or power steering. I need to time it, and don't know what to time it too. any help?
