| Tip: Model A Ford
(ignition timing) Fully retard the spark lever. Unscrew the timing pin located in the timing gear cover and insert the opposite end of the pin into the opening. Using the starting crank, turn the engine over very slowly while pushing firmly on the timing pin. When the timing pin slips into the recess in a camshaft gear stop. Remove the distributor cover, rotor and distributor. Loosen the cam locking screw just enough so that the cam can be turned. Replace the rotor and turn it until it is opposite number one contact. Remove the rotor from the cam and slightly turn the cam in a counterclockwise direction until the points begin to open, then securely tighten the cam locking screw. Replace the rotor and distributor cover and replace the timing pin into the threaded position and tighten.
