Hi Brent

This is a timing tool that I designed to help with setting cam timing. Some people have problems with using the pin and needs assistance to help with this tool it's a one-person job. I have the tool available at www.ford-a-time.com and they will soon be available at Model A part suppliers.
I have sold a few hundred of the tools to this date and everyone has been satisfied with the quality and how much easier it is to use. it is not an unnecessary tool if you only have use of only one arm, back problems or just find it is difficult to do using the original method.
