I had a clear plastic plug for timing that I had not used. I decided to try it this weekend and time the shovel with a light.
Worked as advertised. Very easy to see the mark even with the oil on the inside of the plug.
Turned out my timing by static was off by about 6-8 degrees. Made a difference in performance.
I will be using on everything from now on.

Or...Method is Suspect...
Anyone who ever checked my work from our Shop. Found the Timing where I said it was! Rarely Dead on the Mark..again...No Rubber Stamp....
Align the Mark in the center of the window...have 5 different people look at it... how many different answers??? Do the same 5 degrees off (either way) answers much more varied!!!
Better yet...Tune on a Dyno..tell us where you end up!!! Note..if you bother with Dyno...Mark yer backing plate and Points gap if points...just a Suggestion, for Your Engine ...
