Pre 1954 British cars did not mark a T.D.C mark
DISCONNECT BATTERY
to find a T.D.C remove all plugs and turn engine
by the fan blades
till you see # 1 piston through the plug hole ,
knock the center out of a spark plug and it's tip ,
screw it in the plug hole then with a screw driver
touching the top of the piston , move engine back and
forward till you find it's highest point . thats T.D.C
mark front pulley
OR
...
USE a vacuum gauge at full manifold vacuum to find
T.D.C get a pre 1965 Automotive Encyclopedia it would
tell you how it's done
OR
set ign.points at .012" set engine at T.D.C tighten
dist. this will give a basic timing reset set points
to .014" to .016" then road test and adjust as needed
