dawarriorman Posted May 4, 2007 Report Posted May 4, 2007 Is there a difference between the Ricky Stator & let's say the Pro design timing plate other than one being cast metal & the other being billet? Oh, & the price! Someone is offering me the RS for $25 so think I'm going to grab that. Any reason why I should go with the PD billet one? Well its a part you'll never see, its non-moving and non-load bearing. So spending all the money on a billet plate is a waste. Thats why he recommended the cast plate, its cheaper. Quote
scooter Posted May 7, 2007 Report Posted May 7, 2007 i went with a ricky stator timing plate and a noss head with 20cc domes and they work great im running pump gas and have had no problems Quote

Mine was a bitch to get out because of the bolts, and when the gap on the pickup was off I couldnt adjust it because the plate stripped out. I will never get a ricky stator one, just from personal experience. I know a couple others on here that have had the same problems with RS timing plates. Quote

If so il prob get the rs plate and get some better graded bolts.. Quote

Can this simply be resolve with replacing the bolts with allen heads? I've never gotten in there before.. Just trying to learn much possible and saving save dough at the same time.. Thanks. Quote
theshee Posted May 7, 2007 Report Posted May 7, 2007 That may work. I know one if the bolts on mine was fine, the plate was jacked up. Quote
