[T3] Timing the ignition

["Jim Showker" <jshowker@comcast.net>]

I was looking in the Bentley book today. No explanation of how to set
timing.  Lots of data, but no procedure.  I assume there's marks on the
blower fan you can see through the hole on the airshroud on the back of the
engine.  Sense on cyl 1 sparkplug with a timing light and look through the
hole? or take the gen belt cover off?  I haven't used a timing light for
years, do they even sell them any more?  I think I gave away the last one I
had.  The many different ignition curves in the book are interesting.  My
engine is a '69, will there be a full advance mark on the fan?

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks,

Jim Showker
