He got the timing pin in place with the spark retarded, he then losened the cam screw and rotated the points cam counter clockwise untill the points just started to open and then tightened the cam screw, leaving clockwise backlash in the shaft. This is what usually happens. Trying to set the timing by the points is a very bad way to set the timing.
I am still confused. How would you set the timing?
