Re: WTB: Timing Advance Linkage for Bosch Mag

This is what he has, John, with a motor that has the carb rod coming through the valve cover. I sold it to him. Just trying to give him good helpful info, and not chase stuff he doesn’t need.

Re: WTB: Timing Advance Linkage for Bosch Mag

Jacob, the contraption you are looking for at your first post is for the early T engine, with 2 piece valve side covers. . Your engine has the later single side cover with the carb rod passing through, and you really only need to make a timer rod to go through the same hole, as Layden shared in his ...

Re: Repair of a Stewart & Clark clock

It’s not at all complicated , Richard. If I can , ANYBODY can. Now if you tend to start wrenching when you get inside things, that’s another issue. My bigger issue. from past experience is sending things off and never seeing them again. Most small clock repair people aren’t spring chickens.
