So I moved the timing marks to the top where the strobe won’t be stretched to check it.

Did you use Whyte-Out for the job, or just some white paint?
Correction fluid was handiest at the time
That’s what we call it here in the States (brand name)
I just drive onto floor ramps to check timing.
What is this “timing” of which you speak? Instead of a timing light, us Marelli people just carry an extra fire extinguisher.

I don’t have a xenon light with leads long enough
Ahh. Yeah, mine luckily came with long lead for spark plug wire. Just slip it down between radiator and grille. I also have a spare 12V battery i use that i can drag over.
Timing on these Lucas engines is important!
Rex, couldn’t you make lead extensions?
I could have, but now I can change distributor possition, if necessary without changing mine.
