Ignition timing should be set at 10 degrees BTDC (before top dead center), with vacuum advance hose disconnected and plugged, engine idling at 800 rpm or less.

Align the engine timing marks at TDC (TOP DEAD CENTER). Distributor timing should be number one plug at 10 degrees BTDC(Before Top Dead Center). Distributor rotor button should point to number one plug wire on distributor.

SOURCE: I need to know the timing specs on a 86 ford f150

unplug vacuum advance on the distributor. seal the hose and put a plug on the advance there should be a noticeably deeper groove in the harmonic balancer where the 2 marks should meet up when the light hits them.
in ex. (10 degrees btdc)

86 ford mustang 5.0 ho motor. just installed a clutch. wont go into gear. the cable has been adjusted. is there a slave cylinder adjustment too? or is the slave cylinder not workin properly

My '86 5.0 was a cable controlled clutch no slave or master cylinders. Make sure the throwout lever is seated properly, and check for movement when the clutch pedal is depressed. It should move at least .75 inches when depressed. Also make sure the bell housing is mating up to the engine completely and all bolts are tight. If all these things are ok it could be an improperly installed or wrong throwout bearing. I hope this helps. I remember what a pain that job was when I did mine esp. that screwy cable pulley thing attached to the clutch pedal. Which also may be the problem. Good luck.

If your car works fine when you push the gas but bogs in normal conditions it may be your timing is off.
