Posted by: messix Jun 1 2006, 09:40 PM
there is no indent, no scribe, no cast in marks any where!
wtf!!!!!!!!! so i get it to tdc on the dizzy,[ i think] and push the car i little and i find about an inch of black on the impeller with a blade centered on it. did i find my 7.5% time mark?
so anyway i calked the blade and timed it on that. seems to run ok.
fire away!

there should be a mark on the flywheel as well for referance....
go check out the tech article @ Pelican on timing...they show a template that'll give you a good idea where to look and how to mark it....

ok so i read the timing for carbs tech and it mentions that the marks are tucked up on the back of the impeller? now does that make sense?

that is why you print out the template, to make the TDC and 7.5° mark

no worrries just got done. used a mirror and adjustable timing light. i had it at about 20%.
had to readjust idle also.
