Best Answer

Many Fords of that vintage required that a jumper be placed on a socket near the distributor. Without the jumper in place it's not possible to change the timing of the engine.

Install the jumper, set the timing with a timing light THEN remove the jumper and it should stay.

You'll need to get a reference manual to identify the jumper location and to determine the proper timing advance settings.
