[30 Closed Cab PU]

Purdy x2 - This is a common subject. For standard stock setting.

1 - Rotor has to point correctly to distributor contact Cylinder 1 at TDC on cylinder 1. This is set by the timing gear timing marks.

Once set never changes unless something major is wrong like a bad timing gear.

2 - Points timing - Gap the points first. Set advance lever to full retard. Set distributor cam so points just open with #1 cylinder at TDC.

TDC cylinder 1 is located with the timing pin in the dimple.

Typically does not change when the distributor is removed and same distributor is put back in the same Model A.

Points timing has to be performed when the cam screw is loosened, or if cam slips, or if new points, or if points/points block wears, or if the upper plate removed/replaced.
