Thanks! I wish I could use my timing light and still think I might have to because dieseling is still intermittent on a hot day. The trouble I'm having with timing is I can't see the timing marks and I recall when the engine was going in that I didn't even have one of those fancy plates with all the timing marks. I had a notch in the timing cover and I drew a sharpy line of the harmonic balancer to get TDC of cylinder #1...at least I think that's what that thing is called.
