Farmall C timing mark is on the rim of the flywheel and is very faint. Remove all spark plugs for easy cranking while using the fan blades or hand crank. Bring #1 (front) piston up on its compression stroke and stop at top dead center. Get undr the engine & look for the 1-4 TC mark & use chalk or a yellow crayon to highlight the mark on the flywheel. Have a helper slowly rotate the crankshaft forwards or backwards so the TC mark lines up with the embossed line on the tin plate to the rear of the flywheel. Now check the distributor rotor to verify that it points to #1 spark plug terminal. Factory position would be about 2 o'clock looking at the cap from the rear of the tractor. Remove the 2 capscrews & clamps holding the distributor body in place, pull out the distributor, turn the rotor so it is in the 2 o'clock position, & re-install. Replace the clamps & capscrews, snug them down, & rotate the distributor body clockwise until the points are closed. Now rotate the distributor body counter-lockwise until the points JUST BEGIN to open and lock the capscrews in place. Timing should be complete.
