Hey Mr. 40C,
BINGO!

so the left side (or bottom) of the first red mark is TDC.
YES.

Each red mark after that is a 10 degree increase for a total of 50 degrees marked out on the balancer.
YES.

Is that right Mr Allison?
Perfect score! You get an A+!

And have to say that putting those colors on the Damper (which, BTW, is the ORIGINAL Damper rebuilt by The Damper Doctor) has made timing the 3.14 easy peasy for these OLD eyes. Had, before putting the colors on the Damper, just put White Paint in the Degree Marks, but couldn't see them worth a damn.

Anyway, am hopefully going to get Lorrie Van Haul's NEW Door Handles installed this morning before it gets too hot. And if I have to get out and about, it will hopefully be in Ms. American.

Take care.

JC
