* Engine Size: A 1.7-liter 6-cylinder engine was not an option in 1965 Mustangs. The smallest engine offered was a 170 cubic inch (2.8-liter) inline-6.
* Varied Specifications: Even within the same model year, engine specifications could change based on the car's trim level, transmission type, and other factors.
* Accurate Information: Providing incorrect timing and point settings can lead to serious engine damage.
To find the correct information:
1. Check your engine: The most reliable information will be on the engine itself. Look for a metal tag or sticker that lists the engine code and specifications.
2. Consult a shop manual: A factory service manual for your specific model year Mustang will have the correct timing and point settings.
3. Contact a mechanic: A qualified mechanic can diagnose your engine and provide accurate timing and point settings.
Important Note: Timing and point settings are critical for proper engine performance. It's best to consult with a mechanic or use a reliable source for the correct information.
