hello,
Have a 351 - C 2V motor. Was going to check my timing, but so not presently have a timing light. I was told by a mechanic that using a vacumn guage was actually a better way to adjust the timing. So I connected a vacumn guage to the hose which leads to the vacumn advance on the distributor ... no vacumn indicated. I then connected to the hose which goes to the valve/damper(?) on the air cleaner snorkel. Needle moved a little but not enough to utilize for timing adjustment. Anyone tell me what I am doing wrong ... sure I am ! Thanks
