southernscouse,
Your 54 van and my 54 truck are obviously very similar. I have a thread running on the “OldClassic Car” forum about some of the work ive done to mine. If you look on the second page you might be surprised to see being discussed the very things you mention above. I found it impossible to observe the cranshaft pulley with the engine in place.
Here is the link.
If the link doesn’t work its on the forum under “all our old cars” then look for Austin A40 Devon pick up” about half way down the page. You can see that I set mine to 7 deg. Seem ok
Mike
