What should the timing be set to?
THANKS, Samdog.

Tranny Output Bearing Question.

The output shaft on my '66 f100 swb 240 3sp.on the colum has some play in it. Is this an easy fix? Or is it best to have a tranny shop take care of it. I am still driving it ocasionaly but I don't want to put repairing it off for too long. The trans. code on the door tag is "C". Thanks.

Headlight Question.

I would like to replace my sealed beams on my '66.
Is it OK to install halogen sealed beams without adding relays ect.?
I do very little night driving but the originals (one still has FOMOCO on it) sealed beams are a little dim.
I was looking at Sylvania Xtravision H6024 65/55W at the local AutoZoo.

I had the same problem on my 66. I found the float had a small crack in it. I changed the float and it now works fine. A float and gasket costs about $5.
