| Post subject: | Timing bracket |
My distributor has a bracket under it that limits the amount of turning it can do. It is slotted and the distributor lock bolt goes through it.The most timing advance I can get is about 15 degrees. I would like to get 20-30 degrees. How does that slotted bracket thing come off the bottom of the distibutor? If removed how would you lock the distributor in place? |

The other end of the bracket (where it bolts to the underside of the distributor with another 7/16" bolt) is also slotted, so by shifting the bracket relative to the distributor body, you can get the adjustment you need. The 7/16" size of the bolt makes it hard to find the right distributor wrench to do the job without removing the dist from the engine; a Vim V-103 is such a tool. |

You gotta ba crapping me! You mean underneath the distributor there is another bolt to loosen and adjust the bracket? For Gods sake I can barely see the distributor down on that side of the engine, let alone get under it and adjust it...haha I will go out and have a looksy from below |

There is a guard on the lower side of the distributor. There is no way to see the bolt in question without pulling the distributor |

Ya gotta get one of these. (number V103). You'll probably have to beg and plead with the company to sell you just one, as I did, but it's a terrific tool to have. Makes adjusting the timing much easier. |
