Before finishing the top end I had to static time the points to open at 3.2mm (.126") before top dead center. A dial indicator gauge is used to measure BTDC, and an ohm meter to tell when the points open. With one lead connected to the ignition wire and the other grounded to the engine, the meter reading changes once the points open.
I made sure the timing tab lined up with the factory mark on the flywheel at 3.2mm BTDC so later I can just use a timing light to check timing. The red mark is the factory mark at 3.2mm BTDC, and I put a black mark at 2.3mm BTDC for reference in case I need to run less advance.
The engine is ready to go in the frame.
