Learnt something today, might sound silly to most, but I did not know you adjusted the timing by loosening the flat head screw.
I reckon if the motor was in the car and I needed to do the timing, I would have been reaching down with my 1/2 inch, backed off the mount bolt and started to use curse words, blaming the car why I could not move the dizzy.

This photo is to remind my self to install the upper thin plate (dust cover) prior to installing the flywheel. as the dowel pins protrude past the teeth on the flywheel.
