What are the timing specs 1965 six cylinder mustang?

The 1965 Mustang's inline six-cylinder engine, officially the 170 cubic inch (2.8L) engine, didn't have published timing specs in the way modern engines do (e.g., degrees before TDC). Ford didn't specify exact numbers for camshaft timing like intake and exhaust valve opening and closing points.

Instead, the timing was set by the distributor's position and was adjusted via the distributor's mechanical advance mechanism. The specification was to set the ignition timing using a timing light at a specific RPM and load. The manual specified the *total* timing advance at a given engine speed.

Therefore, there's no readily available "degrees BTDC" data for the 1965 Mustang six. You'd find information on setting the timing using a timing light in the owner's manual or a Ford shop manual for that year. These manuals would describe how to adjust the distributor to achieve the correct total timing advance at a particular engine speed (usually idle and higher RPM).

In short, the timing was specified by the *result* (total advance) rather than the *mechanical inputs* (degrees BTDC for each valve).
