Answer
I apologize for not getting this information to you sooner, but here are the 'Tune-Up Specs for your 1967 Dodge Slant-6

Plug Gap: .035
Dwell: 42 Degrees
Point Gap: .020
Timing: 5 Degrees Before Top Dead Center
Idle (Neutral) 550 RPM
Valve Lash: .010 Intake, .020 Exhaust (Fully warmed Engine)


I owe you an apology, as I have not yet gotten over to the Garage where I keep my Books for the older vehicles, and therefore have not gotten the Timing Specs you need. If you can bear with me a bit longer, I will get over to my Garage, and get you those specs.

If you wish, in the meantime, you can register for the 'Discussion Board' my Club maintains http://www.allpar.net/slantsixforums/index.php ,and Post your question there.
