Re: Flathead V8 Distributor Slot in Cam shaft
Thank you Mart
Is good information I've been on the Vanderbilt website multiple times and am familiar with the two ruler method but this is the first time I've ever seen that adapter for using on the 3 bolt 11A distributor. Bob |

Re: Flathead V8 Distributor Slot in Cam shaft
WOW very cool! The fact that it checks the coil with real sparkplugs is the perfect tester. Just keep your voltmeter aw a y from the coil both l9w voltage and high.
If you could sometime when you next using itwould you mind after it has rote a few times bring the rotor around and observe the number one plug at TDC. Based on what I've been told it should be perfectly Even with the pin on the cap. #1. Have a great day and thanks Bob |

Quote:
When firing on No1 plug the rotor arm HAS to be pointing at No1 terminal. Using this backwards to state that when pointing at the terminal the piston must be at TDC is technically correct but not an accurate way to determine TDC. Or have I misunderstood what you are saying? Not trying to be negative, just trying to avoid misconceptions. Mart. |
