How to adjust timing on the beast (122) 120-130 1965

posted by  someone claiming to be Russell on  Thu Oct 17 12:01 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Thanks a lot guys! I'll check out the timing marks...the just seems so old to me when I think it was built in 1965 I'm surprised that its very much like the engines of today without the electronic crap in it. Which makes me wonder how long have the gas engines been around and have remained practically unchanged in their basic function etc.

As for what the need is for adjusting the timing ? actually the car sometimes diesels (keeps running after turning the ignition off). We changed the spark plugs, filter, cleaned the carb etc so I suggested to her that maybe the timing is off...

It also hesitates and feels like it'll die if you took the foot off the accelerator, when the engine is cold but i guess that doesn't have anything to do with the timing.

Anyway, thanks again, I'm sure I will be back for more advice and more importantly help as the poor car needs it :)

R.
