  • Today in the shop, we pick up where we left off with the distributor on the Flathead. We set our points gap, and use our newly developed timing tool to set our initial advance, then test it out on the flathead.
    Interested in purchasing a timing tool? They’re available for $30 shipped anywhere in the US.
    Follow this link:
    paypal.me/Thehotrodworkshop?c...
    Send: $30
    In the “what is it for” box, type:
    “Two bolt distributor tool”
    - your name
    - your address
    - your email (optional)
    I will send a tool out to you as soon as possible and email you a confirmation.
    Thank you!

    Nice piece of tech on the set up of these distributors, both parts 1 & 2. You might also have mentioned that after setting the points gap, remember to re-tighten the screws on the points mounting plate, though most folks probably already assumed that step.

      Old school microfiche, parts cards lookup, are .005. Since they're rarely used anymore except for backup you might be able to find some. They're plastic & can be cut into strips.

    Looks simple enough, have you finished up on the helmet style timing fixture. Keep up the good work .

    Nice tool. Have you finished the timing tool for the 3 bolt (helmet cap) distributors? Going to buy both tools

    Ordered! Awesome set up. Would be very interested in the tool for the Helmet style distributor tool that you mentioned in the video to do the same thing. Do you also have a video on how to rebuild the Helmet style distributor? Really enjoy your video's and the other helpful info you put out.

    If I were to perform the two straightedge method to set the advance on a 3 bolt helmet style distributor, what is the measurement and from which hole do I make the measurement? Also would the gap still be .005" on the advance side points?

    • @TheHotRodWorkshop
      @TheHotRodWorkshop  Před 7 měsíci

      These are all excellent questions that I hope to answer in the next distributor video. Stay tuned!
