352 tune up specs
Is there a good (meaning free, complete and accurate) online resource for tune specs for the 352? Mine doesn't seem to want to run. Cranks, gets fuel, sporadically fires up but won't stay running. Time to get this old girl running and driving. Thought I'd do a tune-up while I figure it out.

Re: 352 tune up specs
how do you calculate the degrees on the timing. My truck only has a point but the balancer has one mark and that is it...

Re: 352 tune up specs
wire brush the balancer and you should see the rest of the marks on it. they get real dirty over the years and get very hard to find and read sometimes. a slightly dangerous move is to start the truck and get wire brush up from under neath and let it rub the balancer and clean it off for you. be careful of the fan blade.
