Hi Folks,
I'm coming up to timing the fuel pump and have been checking the flywheel markings. I'm not sure which type of flywheel I have; the early or late type. The markings I have after the TDC is SI | 14° | 16°
and there's no gap between for me to mark out the 15° point.
I'll have to check but I think I have the later type CAV distributer without the inspection window.
Incidentally, is the Churchill timing tool just for taking up the worn slack on the skew gears to help reset the pump timing pointer on the right. This is the impression I get from the green bible. I thought people were putting the skew gear with the widest internal spline towards the pointer then using the Churchill timing tool to rotate the gear 20° clockwise which would mean you turn the CAM and crankshaft, too, which doesn't sound right.
Thank you for your help!
