Well, I have yet to use the timing mark on a Farmall to time it. #1 piston on TDC compression stroke. Place the distributor or mag appropriately so that the rotor i just on #1.

That will get you where you need to be. This of course assumes that the governor gear is timed correctly to the cam gear. I spent 3 weeks trying to convert my A over to mag from distributor and could not get the timing right. Finally, I pulled the cover off the govenor, and sure enough, it was off 4 teeth.

Others may disagree with me, but I have no use for timing marks on F series or letter series Farmalls.......

ps. on the F series, it's just a hole for mice to get in and ruin your clutch. FWIW. IMHO
