Hi,
Just a quick sense check on fitting electronic ignition (Luminition) to my '67 4.2 engine:

Crank timing marks aligned for No. 6 cylinder (nearest radiator) and rotor arm aimed at front left of the car (when standing facing the engine). Checking for spark at the marks for 10 degrees btdc static tming.

Thx
Eddie

Correct. Your front cylinder cam lobes should be pointing outwards horizontally as well.

Thanks. I'll pull the oil filler cap and check for that too. I did pull the distributor so good to check its not 180 out.
