Timing procedure on 59AB?

[Hoop]

FIRST ... what distributor do you have. Need to confirm that before any instructions can be given.

What gap did you set the points at?

On the small sliding index on the side of the case, which mark do you have it set at?

This will be an indicator to some of us of your situation.

IGNORE all references to finding TDC. It's not necessary.

(Let's focus on setting a workable timing. TESTING the distributor's functions is a different exercise.)
