Whichever of the marks lines up with the Master Mark when the pin is in, should be the firing point (i.e. where the left/drivers side points open-the right side points would have been open already). The attached photograph is of a V126 just like mine, but came from the internet. The lucky person who owns this one has both the Dwell Scale and the shade/cover for the lamp!

RAK, Yes, with the pin in the hole, the Master mark lines up with the one on the wheel. Still not sure what the other 2 marks are for. I'm guessing the longest mark indicates when the points just open. I guess I need to read the instruction sheet a little more closely. Could be the instructions say what they're for and I missed it.

Carcheologist, Thank you for posting the additional photos. If you drop the pin into the hole on the disc, does one of the marks line up with the "Master Mark" on the base? cpipp01@aol.com, Thank you for posting the photos of the documentation and your V126-extremely interesting! Like Careheologists unit, yours just has the marks, but no "F" mark. Neither has the Dwell gage either. Hopefully more people will post photos of their unit (I will take some photos of mine in a few days)

Here are a couple of shots showing my KRW unit with the post and adjustable pin. Don't know whether it came that way originally or if it has been modified. At any rate, I like the way it works. I would like to get more information about the 3 hash marks on the wheel.

No additional photos of the post on the side of the fixture available at the moment, but if you click on the photo (sorry for the photo being rotated) it will enlarge and you can get a better idea of the post with the adjustable pin connected to the wire going to the lamp. That pin can be adjusted inward and outward to apply pressure to the point plate just like the coil would normally do.

Carcheologist, Your statement makes sense to me about the post applying the same/similar pressure that the spring from the coil makes. I do know have the knowledge to make an informed statement about it. Do you have more photos of the vertical post? I am most curious now.

RAK402, Good info for sure. About the coil needing to be in place...I started thinking about that later and it occurred to me that wouldn't be possible when trying to use my fixture. If you look at the vertical post on the side of the fixture with the wire coming from it, that post has an adjustable pin which you can move in and out and that pin touches the point strap that the spring on the coil would normally contact. This contact is where the points receive power from the 2 D cell batteries. I would assume that the pressure being applied by the adjustable pin would simulate a coil being present and thereby apply pressure to the breaker plate and hopefully render an accurate point adjustment. I hope that makes sense. If not, please feel free to correct my thinking. Thank you sir!
