Just got home from a friend's. He wanted some help timing his Huckster, (Nice car) So when Joe started to time it it seemed to me to be off, like about one cylinder out of phase. He used this crazy Nu Rex cam wrench. But wait! I set the timing pin for number one cylinder, not number four! How does this thing work?When he got done, this engine, predictably, wouldn't start. He said time it your way! So I put it on number one and timed the cam just so the engine fires just as it goes past the the last part of numbers one contact. Voila! It started up and ran nicely. so what gives with the Nurex wrench. I timed it with finger feel.
