Re: Set timing on 1924 Straight Eight Engine

Of course we're dealing with a rather early engine of 1924. But to the best of my knowledge all US built engines thru out history turn clockwise taken from the front of the engine. Looking at the hand crank is a good idea to verify. Also look at the degree marks for the ignition timing and the advance and or points position of the distributor.
