Those systems really look pretty nice... I'm using an older SE "Selectable Ignition," at least for now. While you can't completely alter the four pre-built maps, you can add/subtract degrees of total timing from each of them, and you can set max RPM anywhere you like. It was part of the original build years ago, and has served me well so far.

.125-.140" Preload Target...
The following chart is for .125" add up to 2 more flats (20 total) for .139"

One thing to note is that the push rod themselves only have 4 flat per rotation so if planing one going 18, you really only want to go 12..

Good clarification point since I really didn't look at the pic of the pushrods themselves to see the 4 flats instead of a hex

One of the reason I notice is that I have a set of those pushrods in my 02 FLHRC and just changed cams from Crane H290s to Andrews TW55s.

Thanks everyone, lots of great info! I noticed my "Four Flat Situation" when I first took it apart, but then promptly forgot... So thanks for pointing it out again! I'll mark a spot on each one to make it easier to keep track of how far I've turned them...

Alignment was good...



Cam chest is done.



And most importantly, my involvement with this pain-in-the-*** bracket has officially come to an end! ...I hated this thing...
