now to timing the c farmall. What is the correct procedure so a person such as myself (good shade tree mechanic, not advanced) could properly time the electrical firing. Thanks in advance

If you have an owners manual, it tells you in there how to do it. Find timing mark on flywheel. Not so easy to do sometimes as the mark is not very evident. Get No. 1 piston at top dead center of the compression stroke. The timing mark should be at the bottom, lined up with the mark on the cover in front of the flywheel. The mark is directly on the bottom when lined up. Loosen distributor and rotate in toward engine. Take off distributor cap so you can see the points (which should have been set to correct gap already) Turn on ignition. Rotate distributor out until you see the points spark. Tighten distributor. Recheck by rotating engine to see that spark occurs as the the timing mark passes the marker. As best I recall, this is how the manual tells you to do it.

If it is running just time it by ear so that it runs the smoothest. If not then you will need to remove the number one spark plug. Turn it over by hand until you get it to TDC on the compression stroke. It this point the rotor in the distributor should be pointing to #1. Once this is done then you should be able to get it started and then time it by ear. There is a timing mark on the front pulley but from what I understand it is very hard to see. These tractors have been timed by ear for many years.

Pull #1 spark plug (closest to radiator) and place your finger over the hole. As you turn the motor over with your hand (using the belt pulley), at some point you will begin to feel pressure building up. That is the compression stroke, when both valves are closed. Either stick your little finger or a small stick or pencil or something in the hole and feel for the top of the piston to stop its upward movement. That is #1 TDC (top dead center) compression stroke.
