[AT] WD Timing

Hi Dick,
My info is based on the D series tractors that I'm used to working on and to
be honest, like Gil said, I time mine by ear. The marks I described are as
written in the I&T manual for the D and some 100 series tractors. I'm glad
Gil spoke up. I figured my info wasn't right for the WD but hoped it would
give you a starting point.
If all else fails get #1 to TDC on Compression, set the points or mag
somewhere close and see if you can get it to fire. Then play it by ear.
Charlie
