John,
No offence meant to any one person. Its The cars that make this a true statement. Starting with the Model Ts and no timing marks , then the As hit the street , at the very least they had a timing pin/bolt to set them up and then the flatheads with no timing mark until 1949.
Thats the way Ford wanted it for service and i cant argue with the thought that process worked for service.
My cave comment was meant toward myself more than anyone person as thats the way i learned to time engines with vac, throttle snap, feel and vac gauge , however after making a living for years teaching and working on cars , we no longer really need to do it that way when a timing light and TDC marks are very much prefered....
Again didnt mean to beat on any one person but hoping someone would read and think "how could we make this better"...?????
