I have 82 shovel with dyna electronic ignition with B2 Andrews cam.I have never used a timing light and need help trying this.

 

in my shop we do lots of unit engines for other shops and not having the chassis -we set the timing static using a battery - coil , plugs and plug wires,

turn the engine over with the rear intake pushrod cover open so you can see the intake pushrod - rotate the engine till the line or dots < your engine - are coming to the center of the timing hole and at the same time the rear cylinder intake pushrod is moving up ( opening the intake valve ) eyes in the hole finger on the R intake pushrod

at the center of the hole will be the front cylinder advance spot - then rotate the center trigger wheel to the advance spot all the way, and just as it stops you should see the plugs spark - tighten the - point / dyna trigger - plate screws and your done no need to get soaked with oil

if you have a total electronic controlled module the turn clockwise till the light goes out your done

 

Confused will the plate move when the trigger is advanced

 

what your doing is holding it in the total advances location - and rotating the plate to it so the thing trips and fires the plugs just at that exact spot - not before and not after

don't over think it - its a simple adjustment at the spot the engine is at total advance and you lock it down - your done its that simple

 

Thanks for clearing that up.Should be easy now

 

Just want to make sure,turn turn trigger counter clockwise to full advance.
