![]() ![]() ![]() Make absolutely sure that piston #1 is at TDC. Rotate the engine clockwise with the 19mm wrench on the generator pulley until the rotor is pointing directly at the notch in the distributor rim and the crankshaft pulley lines up with the split in the crankcase at 7.5 o BTDC, then put the cap back on and clip it down.You will find the notch at about 5 o'clock on vacuum distributors and about 7 o'clock on the 009 distributor (these two types of distributors are 90 degrees different from one another). Lift off the cap and find the notch on the rim of the distributor body, either by sight or by running your fingernail around the rim under the #1 spark plug wire.Unfasten the clips that hold the distributor cap (a medium-sized screwdriver works best for this).Put the transmission in neutral and set the parking brake.However, if you are going to use a stroboscopic timing light, the vacuum line must be removed and plugged so that air will not be sucked into the carburetor during the test. If you have a single vacuum distributor, there is no need to remove the vacuum line to static time the distributor. Dual vacuum distributors and distributors equipped with electronic ignition must be timed with a stroboscopic timing light. Setting the maximum advance timing with a stroboscopic timing light is much more important. This procedure is for use on centrifugal advance (009) and single-vacuum/dual advance distributors with points only - and even with these distributors, it is only approximate. ![]()
