[SEL] OT - need tune-up specs..

[Bill Dickerson]

I assume the 550D is in drive with parking brake on......
How about timing?

Thanks. I figured the dwell was "standard" for a V8
The plugs were a bit close, I guessed .35 and these were .30

I need the tune-up specs for a 1969 AMC Javelin with a 290 2bbl and
automatic tranny. Idle speed, fast idle speed, timing (I'd bet dwell is
29-31!) and so forth. Doing a complete work-over of such a beast and don't
have any specs to go by. Bill, Here is the data you requested from Motor
Auto Repair Manual (1968 to 1974):

Spark Plugs - N12Y .035" Gap

Point Gap - .016" Gap

Dwell Angle 29 - 31 Degrees

Hot Idle Speed - 550D (With A/C, turn A/C switch to full)
