Re: 35 3 Window on Rotisserie

Por-15. I wish people would stop using that stuff. It ruins an otherwise nice restoration. Por -15 is for sealing up rusty crappy areas when you are patching a rust hole in a 1985 Honda.

Re: allen syncrograph / 37 ford

ok. You mean run the pertronix, not the distributor machine right? because if I test a 12 volt distributor I don't need a battery at all with the machine, the strobe works as is.

Re: allen syncrograph / 37 ford

Passed sniffer today HC was 337 instead of 2000 on idle test.

Re: allen syncrograph / 37 ford

I've read in here that upwards of 12 degrees either way is available at the adjustment slot, so one could easily over advance at the maximum travel.

Re: allen syncrograph / 37 ford

ok, now I put dist back on with basically centered advance tab for lack of a better place to start. I marked tdc on the crank pulley though so I should be able to use a timing light now anyway. By...

Re: allen syncrograph / 37 ford
