Kelly,

I have rebuilt my engine due to a couple self inflicted issues (there should
be an e-mail in the archives on how I got to where I am now). I have the
engine mostly assembled and I will be putting it back in the plane in the
next week or so. Am looking forward to seeing how it runs.

Hugh

What is an adjustable advance timing light?

Bill,
It's basically a standard timing light with an adjustable knob to set the
degree off advance you wish.
So on our Stratus we just turn the dial on the light to 32 deg and adjust
the dist so the red line on the block & the white dot on the pulley are
aligned. Supposedly this will set the engine at 32 deg (at 4,000 RPM). At
least that's how I think it's to be done. Now if I can only borrow one of
these fancy lights from a local car buff. I don't really want to go out &
spend $100 on something I HOPE to rarely use.
Here's a link to a cheap one in the JCW collection.
