Thanks for the photos.....

Well the original looked to be cork...so I used a cork gasket material....so far so good...no leaks....but keep the switching from main to reserve to a minimum.....the Teflon idea you have sounds good....worth a try.....

Great that you got the old girl out for a run....

Great tools you have made.....ive cleaned just a small bit of corrosion inside the sparking plugs and have noticed an improvment.....every bit helps on the old machines.....

Hey there teletech....was that 7 degree after top dead center? If you could get it close to t.d.c. you should be within spec.

Looking good.....i have never seen the anti freeze markings on a ferret before.....my ferret was sand blasted by the previous owner....all markings lost....if it wasnt for the stampings...i never could say what the c.a.r. number was for sure...thank you for the photos.....some history has been...

Lovely to see the original numbers are still there....keep looking.....im still betting its 54-82521...

From what im reading in the rolls manual....timing is between t.d.c. and 2 degrees a.t.d.c.

Anytime im always happy to help.....im not an expert....just tinker around .....take good care of the old girl....they aint making any more of them.....

The manual is one of my original 1950s and 60s cananadian eme manuals....lots of good stuff in there.....i know its impossible to use a timing light with the shielded wires.....but i bet you could make an adaptor tool.....best to you......i think your doing a great job......

You may already have this info.....hope it helps.....if you ever switch back to points....

There are two nuts to loosen under the distributor....which will let you advance or retard the timing a few degrees....

Hi teletech.....there are timing marks on the fluid coupling....look in the opening where you check and fill it.......original cover bolt is long with a sharp point to use as a pointer on the timing marks....
