It there a way to set the timing without a timing lite?
I have set the distributor with the timing ball on the flywheel, #1 TDC and the points gap at this time.
The way that I flushed the block was removed the the block drain, attached a fitting I hooked up to a garden hose, disconnected the hose at the water pump and turned on the hose. Got a lot of dirty water, then I put the hose into the opening where the thermostat would be, dirty water again came out the block drain. Did this until the water ran clear. Then I filled the block (putting a finger on the block plug) I drilled a hole in the bottom of a soda bottle. It fits into the thermostat opening great, then I proceeded to blow air into the bottle until it pushed my finger off the hole. This again pushed dirty water out... I continued this until I got clean water.
I did the same thing to the radiator, ran the water until it was clean again.
Hard to believe that there is still something plugging the water jackets.
