I've talked to builders who have seen cars from the Ford factory set as low as 4 degrees.You know how it is after a long day on the assembly line...thinks are gonna get missed on occasion.
This reminds me of the day after I dropped my motor in. We got it running and everything broke in and seated propery, and we set the timing. Well, I pulled the SPOUT connector and stuck it in my pocket as not to loose it, and we set the timing to 10* for the initial break-in, and then we drove 10 miles to town to get gas. Car was acting a bit reluctant to do anything, but I figured it was just being new and tight. Well, we get back to the garage and low and behold, what did I find in my pocket but my little gray friend, the SPOUT connetor. We drove the thing with 10* TOTAL timing! Hehe. We'll say it ran a bit better after the connector was back in.
