My 1950 C Farmall does not have the "DC/1-4" timing mark on the flywheel. I cleaned it and inspected it thoroughly and can't find the mark. I want to time the battery ignition unit to the engine. Not sure if TDC of Piston #1 is the exact timing position. I have the head off. Is TDC when the #1 piston is all the way up (I was thinking TDC was when the piston was furthest from the crankshaft, so I was thinking that would mean all the way up and level with top of block)? If so, should I position the piston that way, install the battery ignition unit, and then do a spark test as indicated in the manual? Can I do the spark test with the head off? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
