Just replaced my points/condenser with Pertroniz Ignitor. Mercruiser 470. I would have done this a long time ago, but for some reason didn't realize they made these kits for large engines. I've always used similar on old motorcycles...
Anyway... my flywheel TDC mark is gone. Corroded, faded, otherwise not visible. The timing marks are fine. Is there any other "trick" to establish TDC. On bikes I have used a straw in the cylinder (via the spark plug hole) and manually turned the engine to locate TDC. Is it possible to manually turn this beast? Is there a better way?
Thanks in advance... excuse the pun. (get it advance... like timing advance...)
