Re: problem with timing points
If it has points, it is earlier than 1978.
At any rate, points are set at .014 for three cylinder engines.
to set the distributor, set the flywheel 0 mark on the large line on the block pointer. Now, loosen the distributor and set the top pullet so the curved line matches the flywheel curve and the straight line points directly toward the flywheel.
Timing is set at 32 degrees BTDC at full throttle. There should be a 36 degree line on the flywheel and several smaller lines on the pointer. When looking at the front of the engine, four lines to the left (actually starboard of engine) of the large line is 32 BTDC.
The actuall setting is interdependant of carb opening and timing advance, bit if you buy a Clymers, they explain it adequately.
