How do you use the flywheel teeth to set ign timing?
Doug Raupp


Count the teeth. Divide into 360. That will give
you the number of degrees per tooth.
Mark the TDC by setting rotor one using a oil manometer
connected to a hollow modified used spark plug. Rock the
e-shaft back and  fourth until the oil reaches a peak on the
transparent manometer tube. That is TDC on rotor
one. TDC can also be detected with a small screw driver
inserted into the leading spark plug hole but not as
accurately as the oil manometer method.

Paint the tooth on the flywheel with white paint.
Make a pointer and fasten it to the rear (car) end housing.
