conventional, non mag ignition, set the static timing with the F on flywheel, right? oddly enough, this bit of info is not in the ops man ------------- I am still confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Ps 27 |

No! Static timing on any engine be it tractor, truck or car is at TDC. On the Allis engines the F will be in the center inspection hole when running wide open with a timing light. I know that you already know that it is TDC on the compression stroke. It would also be the same as I just posted for the G where the points need to be closed just ready to open. |

To go along with Dick's post, here is what is in the service manual.
