>Questions:
>a. Did I do everything OK, so far?
Yep. If when you time the car you establish that your new mark is indeed the
TDC mark on the pully
I would recommend you notch the pully.
>b. Can timing cure running on? My idle speed is down to 850 rpm (used to be

It could. You might also try using premium fuel for a couple of tank fulls. I
had a B that would
only run on when I used lower grades of fuel.
>c. Can I use the same method on my Sprite that has no timing marks on the

Yep.
