The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Adjusting the Retard/Advance on the steering column

There is a clamp on the steering column just above the steering gearbox. If you loosen this, you can rotate the steering column tube to get the spark and throttle control levers - where the control rods attach to each - into the correct position. You may also need to bend the Spark control rod between the steering column and distributor just a bit.

I’d be happy to stop by, but am in Charleston, SC.....
