Thanks for the reply and posting the PDF.
I have the same Manual (You might have even have sent it to me a couple years ago when we started this project.)
The prop hub actually has timing marks on it, but there is nothing on the engine case that stands out.
We will most likely end up using the method described in the manual.
Hope the gears will be visible with out having to pull timeing cover.
It is close: Engine has putted through three or four turns, but would not kick over completely.
It has kicked back a few times also, which is usually good indication of timing being off.
All part of the joys of bringing life back to a engine that has not started since the 1940's
E-mail on the way and will update this post on progress.
