You ever have one of those aha moments when you realize you done f'd up? Yeah, I woke up with that this morning. Guess who apparently thought he was timing a SBC? Yep, this guy. Kinda goes along with my earlier post about not realizing how much you DON'T know or have forgotten. SO...... I'm going to Harbor Freight this morning and picking up a new timing light since the plug lead on my old one ended up vibrating down and resting on the #5 header tube and burned through the sheathing. It's the spring type and the spring's been worn out for a while and doesn't really grip the plug anymore anyway. Seems like a good reason for an upgrade.
All in all it was a very productive day that day!! (I hope my sarcasm is noticeable)
On a positive note, the timing marks on the damper should be right, so installing a timing tape should be a breeze. And if it doesn't stick for some reason I should be good since I'll have factory marks anyway.
