I've been asked to make a presentation on timing methods for a Model A to our local club. I've got the Les Andrews method, the Marco Tahatras method and the NuRex (wrench) method. I understand there's a Ford method and maybe Service Bulletin updates on timing. Can anyone provide the Ford or Service Bulletin methods or links thereto or any other methods you use or know of , please? Also, please comment on the method you prefer and why. Thanks for the help.

And there's the Tex Willis timing check, by which all timing methods are measured:

I use Marco Tahatras's method because it's accurate. The most important point to make in your talk is how\why to remove backlash in the distributor shaft.

I don't want to speak for anyone, but, I believe Marco's method is the Ford method. That is if my rememberer is working correctly.
