Paper Distributor Tester - It Works!

Many, many years ago Ferrari had a tool much like that and you are correct it works quite well. However the newest of those distributors are quite old now and I don't often see them come in with the advance mechanisims working properly. If yours have been checked/repaired on a machine in recent years and known to be correct then that tool is all you really need.

 

Cool idea Don....but on the 308's you have two distributors and you need to synch both timing curves and you need to set both timing curves relative to each other for the "right" performance right? I'm with rifle driver. I have seen very few of those set-ups really be right and to my knowledge there are no parts to set-up the adva mechanismz with either. Ols timers just have a huge box of old parts and they swap them in an out like a black art. I don't think just clean and lube of the weights and soprings is enough to assure the proper curve.
