Ahem.
Are you on the compression stroke? Please say yes. The #1 has to be TDC-Compression stroke. Then the rest as you say.
Then make a pencil mark on the ballancer at 10* AFTER TDC
Then crank the balancer backwards to put that mark on 10* ADVANCED
With this setting you will now be able to set the dizzy to fire off at 20* advanced
Next, push the Vcan as far back as you can, to nearly hit the firewall. Pop the rotor off. Now pull the v-can forward until the very first reluctor vane comes into alignment with the magnetic trigger sandwich.Snug the dizzy down, just tight enough that it becomes difficult but not impossible to move, so that you can quickly adjust the timing after light off.Then put the rotor back on.
Next,put a mark on the dizzy,on the side of the body, directly below the rotor tip.
Put the cap back on. There should now be a tower directly over your mark, and that will be the tower that you connect to the number one sparkplug wire. Then wire the rest according to the firing order.Connect the Vcan to the sparkport.
The timing is now set to 20* advanced, or very close to it.
