Thanks TBH. I never would have found those marks without you help. Buccaneer, The point assembly attached is to the mag plate by 2 screws, but the holes in the point assembly are oblong allowing the point assembly to be adjusted in it’s position on the mag plate . Is that for rough positioning and the adjustable point half for fine tuning the points?

Steve, “rough setting” or best geometry between the points arm and flywheel
cam perhaps. I think Tubs mentioned the timing marks on the flywheel
and plate to me, but I can’t remember if I found them on mine.

Prepare to be boarded!
