Re: Timing detail for '39 Six
Posted by HH56 On 2016/10/12 20:16:14
Others will have to confirm if applicable to the six but some of that era cars have timing marks on the flywheel which is viewed thru a peephole.
Here is an illustration of that setup and also timing specs from Sept 15, 1938 Service Counselor Vol 12 #18. If you want to download it, the complete specs for all the 39 cars are in that counselor.
The service manual also has a bit more info on timing as it gives a range of 6-7 1/2 degrees for the 39 six with standard head and 5 to 6 1/2 degrees for the high compression head. The combo 38-39 service manual is also here for download.
