Tricky Timing Question

Posted by Josh on August 20, 2004 at 18:40:51 from (64.12.116.14):

OK I am to the stage of my rebuild where I line up the single dot on the crank gear with the single dot on the cam gear, and then the double dot of the cam with the double dot of the distributor/magneto/governor (whatever you want to call that gear). Sounds nice and simple right? Well my crank has two single dots, and my camshaft gear has two single dots and one set of double dots. I thought ok if I line up a single dot on the crank with one on the cam when I rotate 180 degree's maybe they will still match up. Nope.... they don't. They are one tooth off. So now what do I do? I don't have my camera on hand show visually show you what I am talking about but I am hoping someone on here will have experienced this problem before and will have a picture of a properly timed gear set. Or if you know what dot goes with what dot and can explain it please do so! Thank a bunch! PS this is my Farmall Super C 1953.
