Tebernok,
If the engine is running, it is hopefully close to #1 timing mark. iI you have a good ear try this: Loosen the distributor hold down screw just enough so you can turn it, but tight enough to stay tight when you start the engine.
Start and set the engine R.P.M.'s to a fast idle , about a 1000 R.P.M.' or choke cold speed. Turn the distributor and note the engine speed. When you think you have the max speed, mark the position of the distributor.
Now turn the distributor the other way and mark the position of the distributor. Once you have done that, set the distributor in the middle of the two marks.
Return the engine to idle and see how it runs. If you need more power, just move the distributor to the high R.P.M.'s side a little, about 1/16 of an inch at the time, then test the engine. Just make sure you do not go all the way to the max R.P.M.'s mark, as the engine may ping.
See how this procedure works for you. Post back if you can,

While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
