I've got battery ignition on my '47 H and it sounds from the manuals and posts here like one is supposed to static time it to TDC (1st notch on the crankshaft pulley) or, some folks have said, just a hair past TDC.

When I go to confirm the timing with a timing light - as I gas it to higher RPMs - I don't see the pointer move in relation to where it's lined up on the crankshaft pulley. I don't really get the location hopping around - where it lines up is steady - so I'm taking this to be another indication (besides compression and oil pressure) that the engine is in O.K. shape. Does this indicate I have something wrong with the advance? It has pretty good power at the higher RPMs so this is more of a 'trying to understand' than 'how to fix' question.
