I build tractor pull engines and time them running. With the 600B I would get the TDC mark lined up in the hole, fashion a pointer that you can fasten to a timing cover bolt, set the pointer so that it lines up with the edge of the pulley and put a chisel mark on the pulley edge right at the pointer. Then use a advance style timing light to accurately set the timing at high idle. With that style light you would dial the desired timing into the light the use the TDC mark as a reference.
If the advance mechanism is in good condition and free you can static time it with a 12v test light, set at TDC in hole, disconnect the lead from the coil at the distributor, use the test light from 12v to distributor post, if the light is off go clockwise with the distributor till it lights, then carefully back counterclockwise till it goes out. That will be points breaking at O deg. That will be close but the best way is running as I described.Mel
