eightfan Wrench Fetcher E Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 97 Meadville, MS	I am trying to set the timing in my 53 3100 and cannot see the steel ball through the flywheel hole. Should I just move the dist until I can see it, then set the timing from there? Also, I don't see any kind of pointer in the flywheel hole?
