Still in my '30s here....just.

**Chopped50Ford** · 02-20-2010, 02:50 AM

Hey fellas, what would cause some oil seepage between the block and bellhousing/flywheel cover? I got a new rope seal in place, am I missing something? Im guessing did I not install it right? The engines has been sitting idle between being out doors in the chassis and garage, maybe the weather messed it up?

48yrs !!

Can someone confirm is the offset timing pin on the model B cover set at 19deg before TDC as I want to make myself a timing pointer off the front cover and mark my pulley with a degree scale
I was told this the other day
"When you use the timing pin to locate TDC with the B cover it is actually showing 8 degrees BTDC. This was done because the B distributor only has 16 degrees advance built into it giving it a total of 24 degrees advance. "
So now I am confused as I will use the timing pin to locate and then make my marks back to TDC from there.
