  16. with the engine at TDC the pointer on the cam pulley should point to the mark on the head and the rotor arm should point to number one spark plug lead on the dizzy cap and also number one plug lead should be closest to cambelt the timing marks on the pulley are TDC then 12 10 8 i would set it at 10

  21. what people call the plough has no structual meaning so you can cut it off sorry i dont have pictures any more but basically where your engine mounts are you can cut the tube back to where your engine mount plate finish the tube that is left underneath the plates is more than strong enough to hold the engine
