Locating dimple on timing gear

[Forddan]

Thank you !!!

Yes, my question about "having a backup distributor " was pointed to a road emergency. Nevertheless, it is very useful to know, that I will have to time again, as soon as possible, that backup distributor if I want to continue using it after the emergency.

To summarize what I understood:

- I can time a distributor and take it out. For an emergency (swap of distributor) will work. Let say to came back home from a short distance or few miles.

- But, if I want to leave it in the car best is to time it again ASAP.

This info, at least for me, is very useful!!!. I am brand new on Model A and still learning the very basic stuff.

I had in mind that once the distributor was timed you can take it out and insert it again any time later (months??) and will keep the timing. Now I know this is incorrect.

By the way, I also have an extra carburetor all setup, also for swap it in case of an emergency on the road.

Thank you all !!
