    I found it strange this ignition timing(before and/or after).I can make a pointer and paste it in the cover.Are these two model of breaker pointer original for the DPCD?

    Plug hole over the intake valve.

    Hi folks.Since october'2006 in this forum.Throughout all these years I learned and started to admire this family DPCD engines.My IND 251 Chrysler timing chain cover does not have the pointer and when I have to put the #1 cylinder in TDC I put a little tool over the #6 cylinder hole.When this tool begins to rise means that the intake valve begins to open and #6 cylinder is in the end of the exhaust.In this same moment #1 cylinder is on TDC firing stroke.For me the paper or cork process is difficult to believe perhaps due to the pressure of my engine.

    After I was thinking and saw that it doesn't matter one way or the other.

    If you really are concerned and you want to change it. If you remove the distributor hold down bolt, then lift the distributor up about 2", rotate the rotor/shaft 180 degrees and then set the distributor back down. Then it will be what you want.(Los_Control) I ask if rotate the rotor/shaft 180 degrees to clockwise ou counterclockwise?

    "Since the tang on the bottom of the distributor (looks like a flat blade screwdriver) connects to the oil pump, it can be correct or it can be 180 degrees off. If it's off 180 degrees then #1 cylinder will be at compression when the rotor is at 1 o'clock. This will work but the plug wires must be rotated 180 degrees to match."(46BulldogDodge) I think this is my case.Since I am in this forum I did never hear someone explaining this.My B3-B is running very well but its #1 plug wire in dizzy cap is between 2 and 3 o'clock.Can I change #1 plug wire to between 7 and 9 o'clock keeping the firing order 1-5-3-6-2-4??

    I had in 2008 the same problem in my #4 exhaust cylinder WWII jeep and tried many times to use "Locktite" and did not solve the problem.Only in 2016 when I restored all the engine.The tappet threads was damaged.Good luck.

    Today, after having already made my shelf, I had to make a thread with a male to place the gas pump heat shelf support screw.
