[RICHARD A. WHITE]

All that work … and still no promise of the 2 cylinders firing 180 degrees apart, high point on the cam is subjective at best, Frank, do you still have the photos showing just how many degrees the “high point” is on some cams? My point being the timing tool sets the points to fire right when they need to fire, not 3 degrees early, not 2 degrees late. As most of you know 2 degrees will make a difference, then add them not firing180 apart, just compounds the situation… Can you get it right with feeler gages? Most certainly, but not every time, with the proper tool it is almost guaranteed.

To each his own I guess

Richard
