I had to pull the distributor to get the cam out and now I need to set the static timing. The manual is a little less than helpful - if it doesn't start, turn the distributor until it does.

There must be a way to line up the oil pump, distributor and timing marks so it will start reliably. The maker of the new cam thinks it is important that the engine fire right away and run at 2500 rpm for 15-20 minutes.

For example, with an H Farmall you line up the 2nd notch with the pointer, turn the distributor clockwise, turn on the ignition, turn the distributor counterclockwise and when you get a spark at the coil wire, tighten the distributor clamp bolt. It works great.

Anyone know what the timing should be set to to make a similar proceedure work with a B18 ?

Thanks

Greg
