Green Thumbs,

The book shows 7.5 to 1 compression, no need for hi test, Timed like a 55 Chevy with flywheel ball showing TDC. Then it stated advance until pinging @ full throttle & retard just a little till it stops. I was suprised that was the way to set the timing after everything ws so presision. Chevy 6 had a incrumential graph under the distributer & was to be set @ 4 degrees advance. All static settings & no timing light, Both very crude timing proceedure in my eyes.

I used at the time a very small lamp connected to the points, When the points opened the lamp would go out & better be on the timing marks aligned to be correct

I have no idea how to tune a Toyoda outboard, never seen one yet.
