Hi Phil.
Sorry, I haven't any pictures of the front pulley timing marks and scale. I could mount it back up and take some if anyone is really interested.
Here is a pic of the cracks in the repro points. I did not notice them until I removed the distributor for a closer look. They caused lots of head scratching trying to get the engine running properly.
The restoration took about 5 years and the points were amongst the first things I bought. After 5 years or so the owner of the shop where I bought them was sympathetic but didn’t offer any refund.
Money beats sympathy every time but I dipped out on this one.
Luckily I hadn’t discarded the original scripted “Ford made in Canada” ones and they are back in and running just fine.
This excellent site explains how to set up the timing if you don’t have the proper timing fixture.

Regards to all,
