Just when I thought I understood A timing...

Hey Kevin, the way I understand it is the dimple in the cam gear is for both crank/cam gear alignment and ignition timing. Assemble with crank and cam gear timing marks, then turn engine to align the cam dimple with the pin to set ignition timing.
 
actually the one dimple on the timing gear is used for both functions.

look at the pix that have been posted

no fair Art you type faster

just like post #53,eh
 
Removal of the pulley and slinger went A-OK. After cleaning of the gear a very faint "O" timing mark appeared on the crank gear!!:) Right where it's supposed to be. Light shinning from an oblique angle makes it stand out much more so than looking at it from straight on.

That marked tooth and keyway look much better. I think your confidence should be pretty high that it's right now.

Yea, I was 99.9% sure it was correct, now I'm 100.9% sure.;)
Just goes to show, I should've taken that apart and cleaned, hopefully I would've seen the proper timing mark.
