Thanks for the picture Spokes. I am still in a fog here with the electrics. My understanding is that when the contacts of points open, a pulse is sent to the coil causing the spark plugs to spark. That being said, having removed the spark advance lobe from its base plate and spring unit and not remembering which way it was... does it matter which way is is put back on as long as the the points open (or close) when the F mark lines up with timing mark? The manual I have says something about the points should closed at this timing mark. I am also assuming that I do not have to be concerned which cylinder is on the compression stroke at this timing point because both plugs fire at the same time anyway so at firing, one or the other will be on its compression stroke.
