[TR] TR3 Timing question

[Rye Livingston]

Unless I'm missing something in this problem, I'd think you could determine #1 cylinder is at TDC, then remove the distributor and install it so the rotor is pointing to the notch in the distributor for #1.

Thanks to all who responded with good thoughts. Because this motor was in such good shape when I got it I did not pull it apart. I like the idea that it is the distributor drive, will move it a tooth at a time and see. 
All the best,
Bill

As long as it doesn't ping or overheat, it should be OK.

I turned the dizzy clockwise until it started to stumble,
then brought it back to the best smooth RPM position. First
road test was great, compression at 175 across 4. Can I
leave it there? If not, what should I be looking for?
