Default Re: Help with timing pointer

normally if there is only one mark and the pointer they are the actual firing point at idle with the vac brake disconnected also this allowed you to set the distributor with a test light [known as point brake] on a flathead usualy 4deg btc As stated looks to be an aftermarket ballancer so you will need to check as to its alinent it could be spot on or way off have you tried to time it with a vacume gauge works well and may show you if its way off [ setting with vac gauge there are lots of info on here check past posts ]
