Hi,
This may be a silly one but I haven't found the answer in any of my 
books yet. Is the hole or mark on the crank pully of the TR3 Top Dead 
Center or is it 4 degrees before TDC? What method do you prefer for 
timing? Would you just time it to the marks? In the Moss catalog they 
say to adjust for max RPM then back off 100 RPM. There is the road test 
method. Find the point under load that you hear pinging and back off of 
that or go for best time in top gear from 2500 to 5000 RPM. This is what 
I used to do with a Trans Am I drag raced. 
Cheers,

Mike Thompson
