Oldsalt, the points and coil are on the same bracket, so it wouldn't matter where the timing was adjusted the spark should be the same. By moving the bracket ass'y around, I can change when the spark happens, only. As mentioned earlier, I found this procedure in the tec repair manual. Its a little un-precise for me, a better way obviously would be to put a timing light on it, but there are no timing marks on the flywheel. I suppose one could go through the trouble to make some marks somehow.
