Here's what I did and is sure is nice to be able to access this area quickly

Chris, They make one for a Miller head that I think would work .

Busmoss, It's been a while since I set it and I will check next time I get my light out, but I think I set it at 20 degrees and it advances to 32 to 35 range. I could have set the advance higher but wanted it to start easy.

I'm running a willys jeep distributor on my B engine and I love the way it performs. I made a timing degree marker behind the pulley and I can time it with my timing light.

I just used yellow enamel Testors model car paint and it is holding up well for five years now.

Here's a set of deluxe irons and bows.

Here are two pics from my 31 roadster with original panel above deck lid. I would still use your fold down and check method first because whoever put in the window in the top could have been off a bit.

My 29 panel measures 1-1/8" high while my 31 measures 1/2 inch. It appears you are trying to use a 30-31 panel on your 28-29 body.

Bob, I will probably plug this hole but was going to use ferrous plug as I was considering sealing the block with sodium silicate after tapping and plugging and I didn't think the brass or copper would work as well with the waterglass.

Good questions Brent, I don't know why the groove is cut like that but my guess was someone peened over a plug at one time and needed to remove it so they cut a slot for a screwdriver to try and get it out. They did it after the new seats were installed but before the valves were installed. The...

The deck is 1/4 inch thick at the hole. Do you think a plug wouldn't hold?

I have a 31 roadster with a B block and transmission. I have had it for about five years and driven the car during the restoration. Since finishing the restoration I drive it frequently with no problems. Today My brother and I took it out and after five miles of driving we thought we had blown a...
