Default Re: Brattons timing calibration tool

Same tool, different retailers, contradictory instructions?

Brattons:
This tool is the easiest tool we've seen to find that dimple in the timing gear. Simply remove the stock pin, screw this tool into the timing cover until the ring at the end hangs loosely. Then start turning the engine over once the ring stands you has found top dead center on #1.

Snyders:
Simply remove your timing pin and thread this tool in until the key ring on the end starts to loosen. Rotate the motor with the hand crank until the key ring flops. When this happens, you know you’re in the detent of the cam gear
