Making My Own +4 Timing Plate

[Dinner]

Hey Guys,

 

So I'm hoping to have all my parts in from Jeff and another HQ Member this week. And being as my stock timing plate is cracked, I'm going to replace it with another stock timing plate I have sitting in my room. I was thinking about just drilling it out so that I could turn it to advance my timing to around +4, which is about as far as you can go on a stock plate I believe?

 

So do any of you guys have a picture of a timing plate up close, or can tell me which way I would have to drill the holes so that it goes to +4 and not -4?

 

Thanks :cool:

Craig...

You'll need the ability to spin the plate clockwise to advance the timing. Roughly 1mm equals one degree.

Hope this helps buddy....

Hmm, it would be a little tricky moving the plate in a clockwise motion. Maybe what I will do for now, so I don't screw up my good condition stock plate is mount my good one on my engine. Take my old into work and see what I can do, just the heck of it,lol.

 

And I appreciate your offer Dave, def could be a possibility for an adjustable timing plate for my engine :biggrin:

FYI you need a rotary table on a mill to do that particular bit of machine work properly. :geek:

..or a dremel and cutting bit and lots of patience!

I think the word we needed to key into in my last post was properly. You can use a dremel to make a plate out of a pieve of cheese for all I care.

I'd be afraid mice would get in there and eat all of the wires to the stator.
