Re: Locating dimple on timing gear
I tried all the above suggestions. I found that I was not able to turn the engine easily using the belt even with all the plugs removed. So, I continued to use the crank. I located the dimple before I loosened the rotor so I had a good idea where it should be by watching the rotor. I replaced the lower condenser with a modern upper plate from Nu Rex, and also changed the plugs. I'm still not sure the timing is in the exact right location, but it seems to be at TDC and the car is running really well through all speeds. No stuttering like it did before. Lots of pick up between 2nd and 3rd and I easily got the car up to 55 MPH on a 2 lane road near my house. i can't wait to take it out on the open road and she how she does. Thanks for all the suggestions!@
