Re: Timing procedure on 59AB?
FortyNiner, the picture you posted above has nothing to do with 59ab distributor timing. Not sure where you found that procedure .... but, it's wrong and confuses the issue.

Re: What's your "Go To" for a hard head?
Do not try to remove any studs. Odds are that you will break one ... and you'll be hating it.

Re: Early V8 Distributors
"Why not just use a '41 helmet distributor that already has the 11A internals."

Re: I guess its time ???
