Front timing cover

[Tom Endy]

The front timing cover for a B-engine has the timing pin located about 3\8" before top dead center (BTDC).

The question is:
What does this equate to in the number of degrees BTDC?

I believe its 19º if memory serves.

19°, according to p. 69 of the Nov. 1932 service bulletins
