Are there any Ford truck specialists out there? I've got and old 1985 F250 with a 460 V8 with a 4 barrel. Since gas prices are going up I attempted a tune up and now my old truck is running very sluggish.
It has the stock electronic ignition system, so about the only thing I could have screwed up is the timing. None of my manuals state a timing for the engine, so I used the 8 BTDC stated on the smog sticker. 8 degrees seems a little light. Is there a recommended advance on this engine that will give me an optimum power and fuel economy and not give me pre ignition problems?
TIA
