I'm not sure what year flywheel I have, it came with the engine, and when I had it off the engine I didn't look for anything but the ball. I don't think I even knew there were supposed to be other marks on it.

Having said that, I think I have the timing right now. It starts easily, runs smooth, idles fine at low RPM, and didn't over heat when I took it out for a drive yesterday.

I guess what I really need to do is turn the engine by hand a bit at a time and try to find other marks on the flywheel. That's the only way I can think to be sure of what I have.

But at least it's running good now!

I am currently digging back in to a 1953 3800 (one ton) with a nine foot bed. I've owned it since 1979, and drove it until 1982 (or so). My wife got me involved in restoring it back in 2002, got the body removed and the frame redone, then things came up. Now I am retired and starting again. If anyone is interested I have photos on Imagur ( https://timwhiteblues.imgur.com/ ). I live way back in the woods in the Ozarks on 40 acres at the end of a 2 1/2 mile private road.
