Farmall B Setting Timing Gears

[Devon B]

I have a 1947 Farmall B with a 113 engine and I am trying to properly set the timing. I have two service manuals... Jensales says the one (1) dot on the crankshaft should be aligned with the one (1) dot on the camshaft. The Temco I and T service manual says to align the one (1) dot on the camshaft with double (2) dots on the crankshaft except for the Cub model.

Common sense would tell me to align one (1) dot to one (1) dot and two (2) dots with the two (2) dots (on the magneto).

from my Farmall (reprint) service manual:

"A single center punch mark between the teeth on the crankshaft pinion should line up with a single punch mark on a tooth of the camshaft gear; and two
punch marks on a tooth of the camshaft gear should line up with two punch marks between teeth on the magneto and governor pinion."
