after a motor overhaul, which didnt run correctly to begin with, I am trying to get the timing set correctly... it is supposed to be set at 4 BTDC at an idle, and the max is supposed to be 27 BTDC....
the engine starts and runs but it seems to load up... I have a smart tach to set the idle speed with, and I found top dead center with a dial indicator and adjusted the pointer so it points to "0" on the flywheel.
the distributor index marks are as close as they can get (the dist gear mark is slightly to the left of the index mark on the case)..... when I place a timing light on the motor at 900 rpm, the flywheel shows its running at 1 degree BTDC.... How do I adjust it so that I get 4 BTDC?.. Thanks
