Thanks to everyone for the responses and advice. I couldn't sleep all night thinking about it so I just re gapped them. I will say the second time around was significantly faster. The first go around took me 12 hours. This time I was done in half the time! Better safe than sorry!

Alfredo, edit your photo. Resize to 80% and try to upload again.

Thank you! That worked

This is not what I have on my car but something that was included in a lot I bought on ebay. I have a bosch conversion from Snyders on my car with pertronix from Lang's .

Yikes, they didn't load!

Can anyone identify this electronic model t timer? Any information would be appreciated. What else does it need to make it work? Thank you!

Thats right! Always be sure to grasp the crank in the proper manner and be careful! Most of all be safe and enjoy your car and make it your own!

Well I have been here just about a year and have yet to see one. I did meet some one that has a T but it is street rodded. He said there are 2 others on the Big Island that he knows of but they are also street rodders.

Anyone on Big Island Hawaii?

That's great! Send me a pm, there are no model t people here so far
