Could someone please supply me with the proper timing specs for this motor.I know that there are 3 marks on the flywheel,but not sure what the marks degrees are.I believe in previous posts I have seen 28 and 32 degrees discussed.

If I remeber correctly...The longer line on the flywheel is to mark TDC for the pointer. There should be another line 1/5 of the way farther around the flywheel that is used to time the engine.<br /><br />This does not really matter though. Hook a timing light to #1 and you will see what to do. They are quite simple.<br /><br />TMD
