Sam..... ..ya didn't say, so obvious you're a neubie to the N-Tractors. The flathead N-Engine comes in 2 versions; 1-terminal squarecan 4-nipple frontmount distributor ...or... 2-terminal roundcan 5-nipple sidemount distributor. And since timing the 1-terminal squarecan 4-nipple is a little wierd, I've saved you alotta work by linking a picture of how to time the frontmount distributor. You do realize that its a 2-bolt, 15 minute finnagle to remove your off-set tang driven frontmount distributor to change and time your distributor on the kitchen table, don't you? Just un-clip your 4-nipple cap and letter dangle. You don't really want to remove the sparkie wires, and iff'n ya already did, remember firing order is 1,2,4,3 CCW. Points gap is 0.015 and timing is 1/4". To re-install, gently finger install the 2-bolts, rotate the rotor until the off-set tang drops into the camshaft slot. Then tighten the 2-bolts, and clip the cap back on. Simple, eh? ..... ....respectfully, Dell
