Pictures appreciated; they seem to indicate my little theory is wrong. The, "first" set of points being adjusted is being done while the distributor is on the, "first" indicator mark.
My first indicator mark seems to be in a somewhat different place than the example pictured, (although the second marks are the same). Am I seeing that wrong?
In my pic, the distributor pulley is lined up with the first indicator mark, but it’s the "second" set of points which has the rubbing block coming up to one of the high spots of the cam. The first set of points is already on a higher point of the cam; is this really where they are supposed to break?? If I set them this way, it doesn’t seem to work out.
Do I have the distributor pulley timed wrong? In the second pic, the flywheel timing mark is lined up with the mark on the water jacket cover, and the mark on the pulley is lined up with the first "points break" mark. The mediocre Clymer manual is unclear about which mark to use, on the distributor housing.
Many, many thanks for the repeated patience;
Alan
