Dinner Posted March 9, 2007 Report Posted March 9, 2007 I thought I have read a couple of times that people have drilled out their stock timing plates to advance their timing? I have just purchased a new stock timing plate(for cheap no worries) and I have been thinking about drilling it out myself. Ovbiously you can't go too much cause it will weaken the "bracing" of the timing plate. But I was wondering how much are you able to drill, and which way do you turn it to advance your timing. If anyone has pictures of a stock timing plate mounted, stock plate drilled like im talking about, or even an advance timing plate, i would love to see those pics. Thanks A Lot Dinner Quote
Satsol67 Posted March 10, 2007 Report Posted March 10, 2007 Thats what I did to mine. What I did was found a picture of one that is made to be advanced just to get an idea of were +4 was. I only moved mine the +4 degrees. I know others have done it and have a better way but this seemed to work fine for me. I'm sure others will chime in with a better explanation. Course for 35 bucks you can get one that is marked so there is no guessing. Quote

Should be any day now and will get you a pic if you dont have one by then. Quote
Dinner Posted March 10, 2007 Author Report Posted March 10, 2007 Yea, but I have already bought another stock one($10) and so I mise well drill it myself. What way to you turn it to advance it 4 degrees? Quote
Satsol67 Posted March 10, 2007 Report Posted March 10, 2007 (edited) If I remember correctly you tunr it clockwise to advance and counter clockwise to retard. Here is a picture of one http://www.cascadeinnovations.net/ Scroll down to Stator Timing Advance Plate Edited March 10, 2007 by Satsol67 Quote
Dinner Posted March 10, 2007 Author Report Posted March 10, 2007 Thanks Guys Yea it looks like you turn it clockwise to advance it. I'll just have to get a rough estimate of how much to turn it,lol Quote
