One step beyond this good tactic: Put a test light to ground and to the terminal on the distributor. Place the light in a position that allows you to see it when turning the engine slowly in the normal direction. Put the #1 on compression, but stop rotating when the pointer is about a finger width away from the mark on the pulley. Slowly turn the crank till the light just comes on. This is the Point Opening moment. The pointer should just be at the mark. If not, put the pointer on the mark, loosen the distributor in the mount just enough to turn it. and set it to turn on the light when the housing is rotated opposite of rotor direction. (this may require backing the distributor toward retard some so you can turn it in the opposite direction to just turn on the light. A sputtering light is ok, it indicates you are at the instant of opening. All this assumes you have the points set correctly, and they are in good shape. Good luck, I hope this helps, JimN
