anyone know the timing and the point settings of this particular vehicle 5 degree after with vacumm for timing and 30-34 degree for the points dwell. >anyone know the timing and the point settings of this particular vehicle You might want to play around with the timing advance a little, though. Five degrees ATDC is pretty far retarded, and was chosen by the factory largely for emissions-control purposes. If you can advance the timing a little without pinging, your power and fuel economy should increase. My '72 250C has a factory spec of 4 degrees ATDC, but even with 87-octane gas, it runs much better and stronger at about 7 degrees BTDC.

My 74 450SEL runs best at the factory setting I gave but all will differ to some degree(no pun intended):-) |
