airtite Posted March 3, 2008 Report Posted March 3, 2008 (edited) Hi All my timing plate has broken where the pickup is attached the one mount for the pickup has broken clean off. The pickup itself looks like it been running againest the fly wheel slightly, would that have caused the mount to break? sorry the pics are a little out of focus bad light!

bansheeman1988 Posted March 3, 2008 Report Posted March 3, 2008 Damn that sucks buddy, did you locktite the bolts on that thing? If not i could see that pickup coming loose and hitting the magnet on the flywheel and catching one time and breaking that ear off the plate. What kind of timing plate did you buy? Quote

What kind of timing plate did you buy? did'nt lock tite them but they were tight I am pretty sure I checked that it was clearing when I had it all apart but who knows. That was the standard timing plate that I had modified so I could advance the timing....... I have just ordred a pro design timing plate, it should be here tomorrow. Quote

I just don't want it to happen again! That's why I am trying to figure out what caused it? The stator looks OK so I didnt order a new one, I am going try it with the new timing plate and hopefully I can get away with the pickup for now.... I was so looking forward to racing her on Saturday got to the track did scruteneering and she was purring went for a spin down the jetting strip to warm her up and ended up pushing her all the way back not my best day and she has been running so sweet!
