Would a telescoping mechanics mirror help?

Is your engine set at TDC? Make your best guess and slide the governor gear in place. Check the position of the drive slots. If they aren't at 35 degrees from horizontal (as shown in the many times posted picture), pull it back out, turn it however much it would take to get the drive slots in position and try again.

I would do as Jim suggests, I could care less about the marks, as long as the drive slot is at the proper angle. If it has a distributor, I care even less.

Hi,
Below is a pic of the magneto or Battery Ignition unit drive slots when the engine is at TDC. :)
