Re: Help! Flooding or Timing?
The dimple is in the cam gear and not the flywheel. You remove and flip over the bolt sticking out on the cam gear cover, then press it into the gear as you slowly hand crank the engine. When the timing pin falls into the dimple the rotor should be exactly as this picture shows, and with the freeplay on the leading side of the rotor. The rotor turns CCW.
A lot of people always replace a bunch of parts after a car has been in storage for some time, but this is a waste of money and may make matters worse. The timing doesn't change during storage, and the plugs, coil, and points don't go bad during storage. The points likely may need the contacts cleaned. A condenser may go bad during long term storage, but even that would be very rare. The new heatproof condersers will probably outlast me.
