[QUOTE="brdgbldr, post: 71005, member: 7474"] After replacing the points, and properly gapping them, on my 742B the timing was so bad that I had to guess how far to move the distributor just to get it to start. The problem is that there is not a "notch" in the camshaft pulley to use with a timing light. At first I saw a punch mark in the pulley and figured that was it but then I found a silver sharpie line that seems to be what was used by whoever timed it last. So is the punch I found supposed to be the timing mark and the pully is installed 90 degrees off? Is it possible to time an engine without a timing mark? And even if the punch is the timing mark, is there any way of figuring out where the mark should be without having to fix the pully? Is the timing mark supposed to be at zero degrees when the number one piston is at top dead center? I have the machine running pretty well with timing it to the sharpie line I found but I don't like guessing with the timing. Thanks [/QUOTE]
