Fair point, and not one I've needed to look up, but the 1500S only started in Aug 63, and the K series 1500 engines only started in Aug 65 when the other engines became 1600, so I'm missing info on the 1500 single carb engines. There's no info for the older ones here. I'll have to do a bit of research in the other factory manuals. Did someone recently show a pulley with just 2 timing marks on a very early engine, or am I thinking of another group? Dave.
