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. |

Remember that the flywheel/crank makes two revolutions to complete one full rotation of the cam shaft which moves the valves. So, the notch on the flywheel will line up with the split on the case when at TDC for #1 AND #3. Pull the distributor cap and make sure the rotor is pointing to the notch / #1 plug terminal to confirm you're at #1 (from a tiiming standpoint).
