If u needed one then what would do?????



I probably shouldn't answer this at all but I'm not one to keep my mouth shut even when I should.


I do need the timing set. I just couldn't bring myself to use the Chinese set I bought. They are at best facsimiles of the real thing. The chain was the worst. It was like someone stuck a real chain in a xerox machine and sent the picture to China with a note that said "can you make this thing?" The gears were, maybe, ok. The crank gear may have even been NOS made by an american company but the chain and cam gear were crude Chinese junk.

I located an original Morse chain and a set of NOS gears. Was really glad to get them.

My motto has always been "If you don't have the time to do it right where are you going to find the time to do it over?"
