73 360 Ignition timing after Chain replacement
I'm slipping. Pun intended. IT IS ALSO possible that the balancer has slipped the outer ring and that the timing marks are incorrect. Also it seems to me that some motorhome/ van engines had the marks in a different place??? Maybe I'm dreaming
This is easy to check. Buy or make a piston stop
Disconnect battery for safety and remove no1 plug or even all plugs. Make sure piston is 'down a ways' and install the stop. Wrench the engine around carefully until it stops against the device. Make a temporary, accurate mark under the TDC marker onto the balancer
Now rotate the engine CCW and do the same thing. You will have two temporary marks some distance apart. The correct TDC is halfway between
I made this one in the early 70's and still have it
