Billy, Thank you for your thoughts, yes I am familiar with the timing tools for OMC engines and your logic is fairly close to what should happen when the mag is retarded and the points open ! Makes sense ! But the missing part of the puzzle is the measurement needed to set the points on the 26B ignition when the fiber point arm is set at the low side of the cam ! And that is explained in Chuck’s service manual
Chuck, Thank you so much, your service manual cleared up the puzzle measurement for setting the gap on the Fairbanks Morse 26B ignition on the low side of the cam ! It explains it perfectly and now makes sense ! It’s great to have people like you and Billy to help solve a problem !
