RE: Why do I mark TDC and timing on my crank pulley . . .

I run a front mount angle-drive magneto - so I have a pretty good reason to need to know where the timing is at. Also, it is nice to see the advance mechanism working and what the total advance is (as Vertex style magnetos have a variety of potential advance plates and it is a bit of 'voodoo' to get them right). Of course I also have a distributor machine - which is how I setup everything to begin with.
