Super C Timing Setup
Hey guys, for those of you who want to time your super c dynamically, I’ve made a few notes about what I did. By the way, by dong this I found out that my timing was advanced way too much and my distributor timing weights were not working, basically they were almost froze.
First I made a pointer:
Then I downloaded a paper timing wheel, it was a jpeg file (just do a google search) and then sized it to 5 ¾” using word to match the size of the crank pulley, printed it, cut it out, and glued it to some cardboard. I then used doubled sided tape to stick it to the pulley.
Then I purchased a piston stop for about $8.00, this is essential to get accurate TDC. A very good discription of how to use a piston stop to get TDC can be found here: http://www.4secondsflat.com/TDC.html
After finding exact TDC I marked it with a file and then filed a mark for every 5 degrees before TDC, I also did one for 16 degrees because this was my target according to the manual
The Manual
I then painted the marks, below is what 16 degrees before TDC looks like.
I needed an accurate way to get 1350 rpm, I couldn't use my old school tach meter because I have also installed a pertronix electronic ignition, so I purchased a laser rpm meter for under $20. To get a more accurate rpm I stuck an old saw blade between the throttle and the serrated teeth so I could fine tune my RPM.
This little unit comes with reflective tape, I just put a piece on the pulley.
I am so glad I did this little project. Very worth it.
