I brought #1 piston up to top of cylinder. "O" Mark on damper lined up with
top strait edge of pointer that said "time". With idle set a 700 RPM, damper was 36 to 38. Should have said 12 to 14. I moved plug wires back and forth one hole to see if that would help. Engine would not run in either changed position. I pulled distributer and moved one slot, same thing. Is my pointer wrong. Engine runs good but pointer lines up at 36 to 38. What do you think is wrong. With a dial timing light do you have to mess with the damper setting?
