Point Adjustment – 1965 Big Twin

Aw heck, nobody gets them that accurate with a feeler gauge anyway.

Unless you are Spiderman with super senses!

Agree though, no way, no how is a feeler gauge going to get it as accurate as a timing fixture.

That being said though, I don’t think the average guy, with 1 motor should buy a timing fixture, for that use a feeler gauge. But if you are going to get into this hobby, and get a couple motors, fixture is a great investment! Ill never go back to feeler gauges again.

For the price and QUALITY of Franks tool, If you own more then one motor the tool is MONEY IN THE BANK!!!!

P.S. Frank did in NO WAY pay or compensate me for this comment. But, if he chooses to in the future, I have an open spot in my tool box.

I agree,
To get the best idle the fixture is a must!!

No tool!!! I do it with actual flywheel I don’t have enough motors to justify the tool which I would love to have and may get it soon along with the tool for the coils to align them at proper space from flywheel. The tool would be nice but I just slip the flywheel over the crankshaft and back off not locking the flywheel nut. I line up the marks on flywheel and slip wires downward through screw holes where capacitors wood be mounted to meter or light below magneto and use flywheel like its the tool for me to get my opening instead of of actual tool combined with multimeter or flashlight type circuit using a 1.5 D cell battery 😀 The D cell flashlight circuit can be seen here in my attachment 😀 .

I am pretty new here and this tool Frank makes is very interesting. How do I learn more and how do you purchase it?

Just got one of Frank’s timing fixtures.
It is a work of art.

Guess which one Frank made 😀

You will note Frank’s timing tool is bored on a taper. The factory tool is not, With less metal against the key, the factory tool can slip on a stiff motor.
