Re: 1936 Super Eight timing

Have you tried the "search" tool? I recall a discussion many years ago about reworking pins on 14th or perhaps earlier series to accomodate some modern bearing. I believe I also have some hardcopy that I'll look for and add here perhaps later if I can locate it.
No timing marks on the front vibration damper? My 11th Series Eight has ignition timing marks on both the front damper and the forward face of the flywheel (viewed by removing the starter motor). I use a Sun distributor machine to synchronize my dual points and then install on the motor and just time #1.
PS - your 36 was the last year for the old style beam axle front suspension, but I'm not sure if this applies to your vehicle or your problem. Regardless, in hopes that it's helpful here's the article I was trying to recall.
