dwell & timing

[sebking]

Cleaned the points, reset the gap corrected dwell to 26 degrees and then checked the timing which was at TDC. Reset to 6 degrees BTDC and wow is that better!

Need to check and regap the plugs and then on to the carbs.

Taking a day off on Monday to look at the tub and generally have a day off!

I did the dwell on mine today, it's really easy with the adjustment outside the distributor!

Went to do the timing and there's no timing mark on my crankshaft pulley

Any ideas how I find TDC easily?

Did that, as Sod's law will tell you, the alternator belt wasn't quite tight enough to turn the engine so I had to sit on the front wing with a spanner on the alternator, my foot pressing on the belt and my right hand holding the stick in the spark plug hole....

Job done though, thanks all
