The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Disappearing spark update

Thanks all (again) - I used the starter to get the rotor to just before #1, then used Tom's "put the car in gear and rock it" method (tried to pull on the fan belt unsuccessfully, as well as trying to get a big screwdriver into the slots of the pulley on the crankshaft - couldn't get that to work either).

3rd gear was a bit much for me, but 2nd worked out well - as soon as I felt the timing pin slip into the indent, I knew I was homefree; quickly set the timing and now I've got that nice puck-a-tuh...puck-a-tuh...puck-a-tuh idling sound I've been missing.

THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE...I think it's time for drive after going for a month without...
