Timing on a K321

[modcub72]

Does anybody know how many degrees before top dead center, using a degree wheel. To set the timing on a k321.

[DeltaCub]

Use the cast in mark on the crankshaft and dimple on the camshaft. No degree wheel needed. Use the free technical manual for instructions on setting timing. EZ PZ!

Setting the points at .020" which is 20° BTC.

I meant ignition timing.
And thank you Delta cub and R Bedell for the quick response.
There is no mark on the flywheel, the only thing I see is the ring gear for the starter.

Mod,

I think Deltas response was from the assumption that you were putting the engine back together. If you have not disassembled the engine those timing Mark's she spoke of should not have moved.

If that's the case then the only timing nessisary will be at the points. The internal timing should never "jump timing" unless theres something broken internally

Find the marks on the flywheel and "static time" the engine

I have never seen any marks on the flywheel.
I cleaned it (and sand blasted) the flywheel before I put it in my 72,
there is no marks.

It's okay, I'll just do it the way I used to set up V8 motors I used to race in the past.

Thanks everybody for your help.
The next round is on me.

Sounds like Roland gave you your answer.
