Re: timing pin substitute
"Where are the pictures?"
------------------------------------------ ZZLEGEND's Post #2* was kind enough to post a link to Snyder's online website's photo of the product they sell. You need to click onto the website link - there you will see a picture of it. __________________________________________________ ___________ * "Only one I have seen is this one.

Re: timing pin substitute
If there is a spring loaded timing pin that stays permanently in place, does it have an O-ring or seal to keep it from leaking oil?
Didn't someone a year or so back make one that used contacts to light up a bulb, or make a beep when the pin dropped into the dimple? |

This does not have an O-ring. When I am finished with the pin I replace it with the original pin. |

Re: timing pin substitute
Looks like a well designed tool and the small radius should seal the oil from leaking out.

Re: timing pin substitute
my only question is how often does one have to fiddle with the timing to warrant a permanently mounted tool?

Re: timing pin substitute
Very very seldom, unless you have nothing better to do with your time! First set the point gap to .020". Then set the initial timing according to the Ford procedure in the Instruction Book. All you need is a flat screwdriver and a 1/2" wrench. As long as you keep the points gapped at .020", your timing will not change until the timing gears wear out!

I really like the tool 29spcoupe and I have, spring loaded so of you screw it in just enough when it finds the dimple the key ring will pop flat out so you can find dead center of the dimple quite easily just by lookin at it and watching the key ring wiggle.

Re: timing pin substitute
Both of those spring loaded ones look nice. But with one you can use two hands to roll the motor over to set the pin, and the other you still have to hold the pin, unless I am missing some thing. But on the other hand, one can stay in and not be removed, but the other has to be removed and the original pin installed. . So many choices and so little "time". . I think I will stick with the old way I have been doing it for years. Crank engine over to get distributor close, turn pin around, put trans in 3rd gear, hold pin with one hand and slowly rock car until pin drops in. Set timing and take test drive. Come back and find pin laying in driveway due to brain fade. Now where did I put that 1/2" wrench.
Hope I can remember all this since I don't set timing very often. Timing and ice cream is a no, no. Just my 3 1/2 cents. Your timing may vary. |

Re: timing pin substitute
Once you set the timing you can put a dot of white paint on the pulley and another dot on the front cover that lines up to the pulley dot. Now, the next time you just line up the dots.

Re: timing pin substitute
One that stays put and you push on it to find the dimple (post 29) and the other you use when needed and you watch for the plunger to move (post 26). Each has it pros and cons.
