Dumb question......

In order to install my Boyer ignition I need to have the engine set to full timing advance. Is it this easy? Find TDC on compression for the right cylinder and then rotate the engine backwards until the pointer in the primary case lines up with the mark on the rotor?

I hope so!

Thanks in advance.
