Timing the model a....

[Tom Cavallaro]

Wow! I thought it was going to be easy....I'm trying to set the timing on my Model A, usiing the pin in the front of the motor, but can't seem to feel the notch is not easy to find in the flywheel. Does the pin drop in a good size hole or is it more of a feel type thing. I'm not feeling it....hard to hold the pin and crank at the same time. Is there an easyer way? I tried to place a screw driver in the spark plug hole but the screw driver only moves about a half an inch up and down...really at a loss now....HELP.
