Model A Timing Wrench By Nu-Rex

Whatever works for you, for $10, add it to an order and give it a try. It does put you in the ballpark. My car likes 2deg. advanced which I could adjust my levers, advance my cam, or not worry about it cause the beauty of the Model A is the fun of learning where your car runs best. The Nurex will definitely and quickly get you in the ballpark and you can "tinker" with it from their. Personally, I can have my light hooked up and timing dialed in as fast as I can find the wrench. For me, the light tells me exactly to the deg where I want to be.

One great thing about this hobby is trying out different stuff... "modern" distributor or original distributor, air filter or no air filter, etc. It's a great learning experience.

Shucks, I even tried out whitewalls once. What a mistake THAT was!

Oops, did I say that? :D
 
Of course Fred is straddling the fence. He has one white, one black. (On separate cars, naturally)
 
I was going to put my 2 cents in . but I forgot if it was about timing or white walls.:eek::confused::confused:
 
Such a simple question asked by a new Ford Barn member who is new to Model A's-----------------------------------------------Why so many reply's ????? This is a good example of how to scare off any new member. I suspect we may never see him again.

BUT 2345 views so far!!!!!!!!!!! That is what matters
 
I bet the OP is grateful for all the good advice.... Much good info was shared in this thread..
I bet a lot of people benefitted from it.
I for one did not know that 105.00 dist tool that Vince posted was available.. I ordered one:rolleyes:
 
I have a wrench but have not used it, but the real issue is how many times I tried to crush the gnat on my cell phone. Then I realized it was under my screen and wondered how in the he-- it got in there. Forever 4 it is not nice to mess with old ford guys!!

I thought it was a bed bug:cool:
 
When I bought my first A I bought the dollar wrench that holds the cam while you tighten the screw. I think that wrench is very handy, and better than using a pliers.
 
Hey forever4, with all the time, money and effort you spent on that gadget in your picture, you could have probably bought a few NU-Rex timing wrenches!

As a wise man once said earlier in this thread, "Seems to me like another modern solution looking for an imagined problem to solve".

Just kidding and doing my part to get this thread to 100 posts! :D
