Marty,
The timing mark is for setting the static timing. The distributor on those
engines have a vernier adjustor that is used to fine tune the timing.
As I recall each click represents 1 degree of timing. Preset the vernier in
the middle of its range when you set tie static timing and then use the
proper number of clicks to set the advance you want.
Joe

Subject: [TR] 1296 spitfire question
Question for the Spitfire experts out there. I am working on a 1296 Spitfire
for a friend and the crank pulley does not have any timing marks like the
TR6's do. There is a disc mounted on the front that almost looks like a
sprocket. This combination is mounted forward of the timing pointer thingy
on
the timing chain cover. This set up kind of looks er, different to me. Is
this
normal on a 1296? Marty
