    timing and backfire

    I think our job here is done. Hopefully you learned something? How's that ancient Japanese saying go... "Set a man's 40's timing and it'll run for a year, Teach a man to set his 40's timing and it'll run forever"? I think that's it.

    No, it's usually not that hard. But I've been doing it a long time with several different dizzys. You can "clock" or rotate the dizzy body to any position you need, like get clearance for a vacuum advance diaphragm. You can have your rotor pointing in any direction as long as it is under the...

    Well, yes. I have quoted my own post many times in many different threads over the years. I got tired of typing it. Figured everybody had seen it by now. My apologies to the neophytes.

    Well, you could be 180* off or just a tooth off. I don't care where the slot on the oilpump is pointing, i only care to get the rotor in the right place when the dizzy gear catches the cam gear
