Re: Rebuilt Flathead Problems.
Pic 17 shows how the marks are correct.
The keyway is TDC
What they are doing is retarding the TDC 2 1/2 teeth.
This is the start of the cam getting ready to open the intake.
If you have the dots lined up that's correct.
That's cam timing. now turn 180 and get #1 firing.
If the cap is marked#1 the rotor should be 6 o'clock +OR_
