OK, I looked at it some more and it looks like I can get enough access to the timing hole to check the timing. I have a "Sears Best" Craftsman inductive pickup timing light from the late 1970s. Will this work on the 12V positive ground system on my D12?
Searching the web, I find that some say this type of light will work OK with the positive ground; some say that I might have to flip the inductive clamp around; some say that I should use an auxiliary battery to power the light; and some say that I should hook the black lead on the negative terminal and the red lead to a ground. Anybody got any experience with this?
By the way, my research indicates that some later D10/12 have a timing pointer on the timing cover and a timing mark on the crankshaft pulley. Mine doesn't have this feature.
