I have a flathead 226 I just purchased, im having a problem setting the distributor and how to line it up to the #1cylinder.
I upgraded the ignition system to a pertronix
Anyone have pointers for me?
 
What 226, G series or H series? The distributors are completely different between the two and the trouble shooting for one doesn't apply to the other.


I also recommend getting the engine running with points, then switching to electronic ignition (if you must) once you know how it runs. Diagnosing points can be done with the engine not running unlike the Pertronix.
 
I actually got it to run now
I started from scratch and did tdc and changed out the plug wires different and got her to run she sounds healthy,
But now my next issue is the throwout bearing came out of the fork so now I im getting frustrated not being able to line it up��www.jalopyjournal.net♂️
