c) Just a note for reminder, in case it strikes anyone as problematic: When I initially put the points @ .020, they break at TDC, when the "T" is in the sight hole. I have to bring them all the way out to around .040 to get them to break at the "S.")
---------------------------------

I rebuilt a 1650 .... when i set the points like above i had hard start
I turned the motor till points were wide open ,set gap to .020 , I didnt look at the timing marks on the flywheel .... it started right up.
Its worth a try
So that would be the standard timing procedure, right? And in your case (like mine) the gap was really wide to get it to hit at "S"?
