I noticed that when my camshaft gear and crankshaft gear marks are aligned the number one piston is not at the top of the head and the rotor button is not pointing to the number one sparkplug wire. Is this normal for a 1949 8N? There doesn't seem to be anyway of altering the timing. Thank you for any information!

You are comparing apples to oranges!

There is no relationship with the ignition timing to the timing marks on the cam and crank gears.

As far as I know,as lomg as the two marks are lined up,they are where they are supposed to be.The only other timming to be done is in the dist.I just took off the valve spring cover and made sure that the valves were closed and #1 cylinder at top dead center at the compression stroke.Then set the rotor to #1,and tighten down the dist mounting bolts and check for spark.That should do it. Happy tractoring!(hope this helps!)
