I will installing new points and condenser in my 1951 JD A with distributor. I have an OM that shows how to do it removing sparky plug on the flywheel side, removing the side flywheel cover and lining up the mark on the flywheel and flywheel cover. With the ignition on you turn the distributor until the points open. Here's my question: Would it be possible to use a timing light with engine running and point the light at the flywheel cover mark and the mark on the flywheel to line them up? Just a thought I had. If anyone has an easier way, please share. Any assistance is always appreciated.
