REFLECTOR: Fw: Champion Plugs/Timing

[steve korney]

Hi Ronnie and Terry...

Your both correct... As to how  the trigger units mount.... But, you still 
need to check it with a timing light, after its installed, to set the proper 
timing... That little pop-rivet tool is just a starting point...

Best... Steve

There are two versions of the J.Rose system.  One goes into the mag
hole, the other is hal effect and reads a signal off the flywheel.  It
depends on your engine.

Steve, my Jeff Rose which has the pick up mounted in the left mag hole,
is set at zero degrees.  There is a small hole in the face of the pick
up housing.  A 3/32 pin (like the pull pin in a small pop rivet) is
inserted  until the holes line up - when the crank is at TDC for
cylinder #1.

  I believe the Jeff Rose flywheel mounted pick ups are set at zero
degrees
too.

  Ronnie
