Farmall B - timing the engine when...

Posted by Dave H (MI) on August 12, 2007 at 14:26:51 from (205.188.116.73):

Got the valve situation squared around and I DID find those marks after I used the wire in the cylinder trick. My instructions for timing the engine say that the rotor should be pointing roughly to the #1 spark plug wire when at TDC for #1. FIRST> Which side of the rotor? SECOND> Neither side points at the #1 plug wire. Is there something I should do or should I just follow the instructions and loosen the distributor, rotate about 30* clockwise past the #1 mark and then turn it back to get a spark from the coil wire. Sorry, I am typing fast here. There is a post from me on page 2 of this forum that has the instruction I am reading from. Main point of confusion I have is which end of rotor and what to do about it pointing in the wrong direction....hope that makes sense.
