Shortbed Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 Fairly certain engine is at TDC. Is the tang in the correct position? It looks a little bit off, I've read that the left edge of the tang aligns with the outside top hole. I've taken that rod and engaged it another tooth (clockwise direction on picture, CCW from oil pump side). In that position it points closer to 12 o'clock. Dimple on gear and housing were aligned, but i cant remember if that threw the tang to 12 o'clock or like the picture. Thanks for the input Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 I'd say you're good. There are 20 teeth so each tooth moves the spindle 180. I did a little measuring of the picture above and some math. Eighteen degrees is scary close to the width of that tang. I think more than close enough to adjust the distributor timing. 1 Quote Link to comment
Shortbed Posted January 7 Author Report Share Posted January 7 Sounds good. Thank you, sir! Slapped it back together and on to trying to start this pig. Quote Link to comment
