I marked the vibration damper on my 115C with timing marks since the marks on the flywheel are difficult to see. I made a pointer out of heavy gauge wire and attached it to one of the timing chain cover bolts. I then carefully marked the damper. This made adjusting the timing much easier. Also, these distributors have an "Octane Adjustment" so the timing can be easily adjusted to accommodate the varying quality of gasoline used in those days. The procedure for doing this is in the owner manual.
