Reply to "Timing"

Jack's right, you will still need to access the front of the motor to adjust the timing via the distributor. What I've done is modify an MSD crank trigger wheel to mount on my aluminum flywheel and locate the magnetic pick-up on the tranny bellhousing. Now all timing is adjustable from the engine bay, plus the timing remains stable even as my damn bronze distributor gear wears out! (I still have to phase the distributor once per gear change, though). This modification requires access to a milling machine & rotary table, along with a bunch of time to fabricate the bracketry, modify the pressure plate housing and what-not, not to mention the aluminum flywheel (non-magnetic material required to mount the magnets). It is a vary trick set-up though, even with all the time and money invested. If anyone out there is interested, I can provide more info.

Good Luck

Craig
