    Hi Ed;
    Yes, you are correct, and that’s what my Clymer manual says.
    That’s turned out to be trickier than it sounds, for me anyway.

    On this motor, there are two marks on the distributor housing which show the exact place the points need to break, and using these is the only way I’ve ever gotten it timed right.

    I’ve never had a problem setting points by feeler gauge, on every other motor I’ve ever dealt with. But not this one.
    All opinions welcome and appreciated.
