At what degrees do I set the timing on a 1978 ford 302 V8?
6-8 deg BTDC - however one trick is to start moving the timing higher until it pings under a load then back it off a few degrees until it no longer pings. That would be the optimum timing setting.
The Static Timing on that is 6 BTDC. The way I do it is to put the Crank on 6 BTDC and pull the #1 wire off and lay it with a screwdriver in it 3/8 in or so from a ground. Then turn the key to ON and rotate the distributor until it sparks. Then snug it up. If you have a timing light you can check your Ignition Advance Curve.

- What Ford vehicles with a 302 motor comes with a 4 barrel carb (and only comes 302 with a 4bc)? I have a 1989 mustang gt motor and I'm making it carbureted and I'm looking for any vehicle with a 302 that carries a 4b. I'm going to a junkyard where they don't help with finding vehicles, so it would be helpful to know what vehicles only have a 302 with a 4bc, that way I can look it up on the website and know exactly where its at.
