HELP need to find Top Dead Center


Recommended Posts

The timing marks on your flywheel should be visible through the hole in the bellhousing. Turn until "C 1&4" appears then another eight degrees until "I" - that is your full retarded ignition point for no 1 cylinder. If you do not have the hole, ascertain TDC on no 1 cylinder by holding your thumb over the spark plug hole. The eight degree point past there is when no 4 exhuast valve is just closing.

In any event, due to the two bolt connection for the distributor you can only be 180 degrees out with the timing. If the engine will not start, turn the coupling through 180 degrees.
