finally ready to start my H, front end is still missing, but hey, I cannot wait to heat it,it's been 14 years since I have heard it run, Grandpa and favorite uncle has passed on,so it is just me to makeitrun, anyway, got sentimental.How can I time this beast???, I have found TDC on #1 cylinder, (when #4 valve is rockin', according to Guy on "the rebuild video") I found the mark on the crank gear, I know the firing order, #1 wire is marked on the distributer cap, I believe it has a mag. How can I tell if my mag is working without have the SH!# shocked out of me? I have heard stories'bout them things. Turns over fairly easy, new pistons,sleeves, rings, bearings, block tanked, head redone... On the farm, we always pulled started it, I had the starter checked out, it works good, THEonly bad stuff is it doesn'tcrank long, then battery is dead, ignition button gets a little warm, cables are old, but look very good. Sorry for long post, just got in around 12:30am from barn and needed to VENT. Thanks everyonefor all the posts, LOVE reading them.
