No problem, Bill! The best way to deal with finding the full advance is not a degree wheel or marking the pulley, but to find, borrow, or otherwise obtain a timing light with an advance dial on the light. Dial in the advance you want, rev 'er up, then set timing to the TDC mark. These lights run about $40 at Sears. In a larger sense, about tools, I'm a big believer in the Bubba Ring concept (from the book "Old Tractors and the Men Who Love Them") - specifically, find a few friends you trust and one person buys the fancy timing light, another buys the colortune kit, and a third buys the syncrometer or uni-syn - and so on. No sense in having a twice-yearly tool around *every* garage. JZ |
