Any thoughts? ************************ Hi William - Ignore Bentley - The picture is intended for Digifants which are timed at 5 degrees BEFORE TDC, the "v" to the right of the "u". Your pulley is correct with the "v" to the left of the "u" indicating 5 degrees AFTER TDC. Your 84 is normally timed to that mark (although mine runs better at 0 degrees TDC because of wear and tear on the dizzy over the years).
