1954 7.5hp evinrude tune up.

Hello i wopuld like to put in new point and condensor.On the flywheel it just says .020" for the gap.No timing marks.Under the flywheel says top ,to where to set the points at .020" . That seems easy to do,but i believe that the timing will be just close, but not right on.I have heard a little about Franks timing tool for this engine which i believe i have but not sure how to use? any ideas? thanks

Just rotate the crank until the rubbing block on the points is in the center of the word top and set the points to .020.

Just a reminder. You do know it takes two sets?
