TIMING TOOL
Is this tool labelled "B" sold by a retailer, or fabricated individually?

Re: TIMING TOOL
It would have been quicker for you to check the vendors on line catalogs than post your question with photo's here. but to answer your question, Langs, $1.45

Re: TIMING TOOL
Just use the "9:30-3:30" crank pin method and you'll be fine. PM me if you're not familiar with it and I'll describe it to you. Gimme your cell number even and I will call you.

It's pretty easy. No special tool needed.

Re: TIMING TOOL
Different strokes for different folks. Steve’s method works pretty good.
The tool shown is real similar to the one that could be homemade in Tinkerin Tips years ago.

Re: TIMING TOOL
I'm a tool geek. I like to collect stuff.
I made something similar out if a paint stick using my other cars timer as a model. I'll grab a mix for you all when I go out to the shop shortly

Re: TIMING TOOL
Beware, as others have stated, the Ford Service Manual timer gage the vendors sell is ONLY reliable when using a Ford timer and a Ford roller. Other timers have different internals, brushes, or different rollers.

Re: TIMING TOOL
This tool only works on stock roller timer
Best way is Crank ratchet pin is parallel to the ground this puts piston TDC half the time set and run and fine tune as needed
