Been a while since I posted on here....recently picked up a 1949 Cub , needed points , dist. cap had #1 plug wire startin" in the wrong hole , I,ve never had a problem timein" any engine but this one is beatin" Me....With an overhead valve engine I line up the timein" marks on the crankshaft pully , pull a valve cover to be sure the rocker arms are loose and go from there. As Yaw"ll know the Cub don"t have overhead valves , I pulled the side cover thinkin" the lifters would be loose when # 1 is up and ready to fire but I haven"t found a place yet where both are loose when the crankshaft lines up with the marker so I guess the valves need adjustin"....that idea ain"t workin....Tried lookin" in the spark plug hole to see if the valves are shut , can"t really tell....So I"m tryin" to get around pullin" the timein" gear cover , is there an easier way to get things straightened out....I"d know for sure if I could see the crank gear and cam gear markin"s...I"ve tried (several times ) holdin" My thumb over the #1 spark plug hole but I"m sure missin" out somewhere....anybody got any ideas ? Thanks Wild Bill

When I was old enough (7 or 8), I would get up early and be dressed to
