Not Ranked
The following is from the Ford instruction sheet that comes with the engine.
" The engine is equiped with a duraspark distributor.The timing advance curve starts at 1500 RPM and reaches full advance ( 20 degrees)at 2500 RPM.An MSD 6al or 7al ignition module is recommended to complete the ignition system."
" The 392 made best power at 32 degrees total timing."
I would advise you leave the vacuum disconnected and set the initial timing at 12 degrees.
Also put the carb back to stock for now.
