Timed my roadster - now runs worse

[ABento]

I also have a nu rex tool, and had the same issue of how it ran, this was on a BB, but it times the same, just no advance lever, I also used it on an A a few days ago and the way the wrench set it it was no where close to what the book says for setting the cam to where the points are just starting to open, about the only good I see in the tool is to hold the cam in place in case the screw was to turn it.

I called Nurex when this tool first came out and they said it would not work on the B distributor.

Lots of good advice. Unfortunately Rivokid hasn't looked at this thread since shortly after he posted the original question and replied in post #3.

Maybe he broke down about 100 miles from home. May never hear from him again. But then again, a lot of posters never come back to give updates. Ok,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,now back to mowing my lawn.
