If you are concerned that the flywheel is not correct or mis-marked, you can use a vacuum gauge to get proper timing. Attach a vacuum gauge to a good source. Some ferguson manifolds have a port just above the carb. I tapped my manifold in that same area and put my own in. If you can somehow get the engine to run, rotate the distributor slowly until you reach 18 inches or more vacuum.18-20 inches will have your engine timed perfectly. The highest setting is always best.I time every engine this way and have always had great long term results. This method is perfect for engines that have dampners that may have slipped a little. If you are unable to get vacuum readings that high, you have a problem somewhere else. I have owned two TE-20 Fergusons and neither tractor had any timing marks at all. I'm not sure why but both tractors were split and the flywheels were both cleaned thoroughly. One tractor did have a paint mark but since I didnt put it there I didnt trust it and I admit I didnt want to try to peek through that little hole and time it once I put it back together.The vacuum gauge is much easier to see while I am standing.
