I have a 1971 Mach 1 in need of some timing adjustment, and am looking for someone who can verify (or at least point me to where I can obtain) the location of the #1 valve on a 351C. Thanks in advance.

I am almost 100% sure that it is front valve(cloest to the radiator) on the passanger side. Can anyone varify this?

there is no valve that is called the number one valve,the number 1 cylinder is passenger side front,but i don't know why you would need to know about the valves to set timing.

Excuse me for refering to the #1 cylinder as "valve", inexcusable slip up on my part. You have to connect the timing light to the #1 spark plug wire to adjust the timing is why I ask.
