Nu-Rex Timing Advance System
Does anyone have the Nu-Rex Automatic Spark Timing System installed in their Model A or have an option on them?

Re: Nu-Rex Timing Advance System
I'm not sure what you're after but there are other ways to get centrifugal advance. Check them out too. I'm running the 12V FSI electronic ignition with centrifugal advance. Easy install, more forgiving than the original distributor, pulls all day long and has eliminated my skips and misses completely. I'll recommend it along with a Flame Thrower coil.

Re: Nu-Rex Timing Advance System
Rocky, here is some info from Vince Falter's Ford Garage. https://www.fordgarage.com/pages/nurexadvance.htm
I know some on Ford Barn are running the Nu-Rex Auto Advancer. Maybe someone will speak up? Welcome to the Barn.

Re: Nu-Rex Timing Advance System
Running FSI with manually advance -- 6 volt. Bought back-up modulator -- no more points/condensor problems.

Re: Nu-Rex Timing Advance System
I have a friend with the Nurex. He has had it several years and likes it.

Re: Nu-Rex Timing Advance System
The only issue I have had with the Nu-Rex Advancer is it advances a little too much when the engine is under load, such as going up a hill in a heavy car, my Town Sedan. But I have it set up so I can retard the timing with the stock lever as needed.
I have the Nu-Rex set so my timing is set at 28° all in. I'm running a Snyder's 5.5 head and Marvel Schebler carb, B cam. Fun thing about the Nu-Rex, because the distributor looks stock, is showing a group how much "play" you have in your rotor and listening to some "ACE Mechanic" that knows nothing about my car explain what the problem is...

Re: Nu-Rex Timing Advance System
I'm running a nu rex system on my coupe with a burtz block and a Charlie Yapp rocket 428 head, runs good. I'd advise to go with their timing kit also which includes the timing indicator. I've set mine for full advance at 26 degrees and because I still have the spark advance hooked up I can retard or advance to fine tune when starting or pulling a load.

Re: Nu-Rex Timing Advance System
I was thinking about adding this to my car now that I have the engine out and valve cover off, but I was under the impression that if you went with the Nu-Rex system, you had to ditch the spark rod.
Does the Nu-Rex system fight the spark rod, and wont it move the lever by itself when the system automatically advances the timing? Regards Bill |

However, because the Nu-Rex system will advance the timing a full 29-30°, you would want to restrict the adjustment you make via the spark control rod to just a few degrees fine-tuning. |

Re: Nu-Rex Timing Advance System
I have seen them advertised for years and always wanted to try one. I finally got my
chance. I built a Burtz kit for a customer with a 7-1 Brumfield head, Burtz cam and 1.75 intakes and stock exhaust valves with the block ported, Model B carburetor and bored out Model A manifold to suit. The advance it set at 26 degrees total and boy does this thing run. I give the Nu-Rex an A+ (its also been converted to electronic ignition) |

Re: Nu-Rex Timing Advance System
Be careful with any automatic advance mechanism that the timing is not over advanced, especially with high compression heads. Pre ignition and knocking can cause havoc with the rod bearings.

Re: Nu-Rex Timing Advance System
Yes, several members have indicated they set their total advance at 26-28°, as have I.
