Hello
I have put a Pertronix module in my distributor. I cannot see the timing marks on the blower cage. Isn't there suppose to be a TDC mark on the flywheel I can use? Also, I have carbs on the engine, if that makes a difference. Thank you. |

Right in the middle and just behind the engine tin at the back of the engine there is an inspection hole. If you look down through that you will be able to see a notch on the flywheel (if the engine is at TDC). It lines up with the split in the engine case. You probably have to push back the rubber.
Some people find that easier to use. i do not. I'd use it to set your engine at TDC and then find a way to paint a mark on the fan that you an see. |
