Default Re: Timing indicators, do you use them?

OK, can you help me with the readings. I am not sure what they are telling me. What do I have?

Hopefully you have the FSI Zipper and a 5.5 head as I do.

I purchased the Snyders timing kit. http://www.snydersantiqueauto.com/ti...gree-indicator

With my dial back timing light hooked up to a 12 volt battery I was able to get it to work.

The timing pin fell into the timing gear hole at the same time the piston was at TDC.

With the timing pin in place and the rotor is just where it should be on the #1 distributor pin. At the same time it corresponds to the Snyders "0" on the circle chart that is placed on the distributor.

This is what I have.

At 400 RPM I have to adjust the light to 28.7 achieve 0 on the Snyder timing gauge that is bolted to the motor.

At 500 RPM I have to adjust the light to 21.8 achieve 0 on the Snyder timing gauge that is bolted to the motor.

At 1400 RPM I have to adjust the light to 47.9 achieve 0 on the Snyder timing gauge that is bolted to the motor.
