I got a 1971 ford mustang with a 302ci, it's got a MSD Billet and Pro-Billet Distributor and a holley 500cfm carb. I would like to know what color springs and and stop bushings are the best that came with the msd distributor, and to set it about 12-14 degrees how would i go about doing that would i twist the distributor clockwise or counter clockwise?
Okay, so there will be a nut and a 'fork' holding down the distributor. Just loosen the nut, you don't need to take the fork off, and it will allow you to turn the distributor. If you have a timing gun it's easy, hook it up to the battery, then click the connector onto the 1st cyl spark plug wire, while the car is running, and aim the light at the timing marker on the timing chain cover. Your harmonic balancer should have a TDC mark on it. You might have to clean it up if it's older with some surface rust and you cant see the marking.
Also if it has vacuum advance, unplug it from the distributor [use a golf tee or something to plug the line]
It will depend on what your timing is set to now, to know if you have to turn it clockwise or counter.
If your timing is too far advanced, rotate it clockwise to retard the timing some, if it's too retarded, then rotate it counter clockwise to advance.
