Did anyone notice the property was listed for sale August 13, 2018? That is before the fire. Sounds like Baker's was already going down before the fire finished them off.

Re: Attn Mark III 460/365hp owners Timing
Could it be, the timing marks tell the story? My marks are 0*, 1*, 2*, 3*, 4* 15* and 30*. If it was meant to be set at 10*, wouldn't it have that mark? That would seem to make sense. Te point of all of this is that you should tune your car using the factory shop manual, don't rely on a valve cover...

Re: Attn Mark III 460/365hp owners Timing
Hi, Can you explain why all 385 built, 365hp 460s can have different settings? Did they figure out the engine ran better at 4* after the first year? They were chasing changing emissions requirements every year. Lowering the timing reduces certain emissions. You seem to be under the impression that ...

Re: Attn Mark III 460/365hp owners Timing
The correct timing for the 1969 Mark III is 10º BTDC. There was no CA emissions in 1969, the picture above (550 RPM, 10º BTDC) is the correct valve cover decal for the 1969 Mark III 460.

Re: Rear window vent air control lever
"Rear Vent" opens the air extractor under the rear window. It lets air flow out of the car, not in.

Re: What year did Autolite change over?
The decision in Ford Motor Co. v United States ordered Ford not to produce spark plugs for 10 years, so it is safe to say there would be no Motorcraft brand spark plugs until 1983. As far as carburetors, filters, etc were concerned they probably switched everything to Motorcraft brand in 1973. Jeremy

I have never seen any documentation to confirm this, and none of the original factory photos show a chrome grille.

Re: Need a picture of 1969 or 1970 Battery Cable ends
The positive cable should have a red rubber boot that covers the terminal. Narraganset reproduces the positive cable WITH the correct boot.
