Oh ya that’s right, how I could of overlooked that and I knew that before! Thank you very much for replying, you helped me shake the cobwebs out of my 63 year old brain!
With a decked block and the intake manifold I am running I have to cut down my china rails to get the manifold down on the head ports. This makes my oil pump shaft too tall which jacks up my distributor. With out adding a spacer between the distributor and intake manifold what is the procedure to cut down the oil pump shaft and what would the optimum clearance be at the distributor pin and shaft slot?
Ok … Not a bad video but you can do better ….
First off I am going to assume that it's fixed timing because you are setting to total not initial advance … On a regular engine you should set the balancer to what you want in initial timing not total …
Then once the distributor is in place like you showed the trigger point on that distributor is just as the reluctor wheel arm passes the center bar on the pickup so you line that up and lock the distributor down …your timing will then be within a degree or two of what you want …. In the case of hei distributor trigger point is point to point ….
