Many thanks to Pete and Clive for the helpful info about timing the 3300.
I did the 7 tooth test as described by Pete and both rotors were in parallel with
the trailing edge aligned with the timing marks on the distributor support.
So I do not believe I will have to re-do the timing.
I am buying new spark plugs and will do some more testing Tuesday if weather permits.
By The Way - When you go to purchase NGK D9EA spark plugs make sure thing have
the threaded ferrule on top.
I found plenty of spark plugs but nobody had any NGK with the ferrules on top.
I substituted Champion RA4HC's.
Hope they work.
Bobby

Hope you sort it swiftly, frustrating.
I will drop off one of my Dizzy caps and look at the timing marks and
the rotor arm. I remember posing the question to myself but can=99t
remember what the answer was. I found the manual (Jem 001) unclear and
the photo=99s weren=99t either.
I did have one apart a month or so ago so should have taken more notice.
The accuracy of the timing is from the magnets passing the coils of
course which I=99m sure is why Pete said it doesn=99t
matter.
Remember though, the arms aren=99t parallel with each other. They
are almost but not truly parallel, recheck the picture in Jem-001. They
are in the same position relative to each timing mark though.
NGK in the UK will send you free ferrules if you phone and ask. Or they
always used to.
Cheers, Clive

Bobby=2CBy taking off the flywheel without pinning the gear=2C you might ha
ve lost the valve timing=2C not the ignition timing.If this is the case=2C
follow the instructions defined in the Overhaul Manual. It involves removin
g heads and the gear plate. And is very educative.Have fun=2CNaftali Horowi
