[SEL] valve spanner wrenches

[MaytagTwin at aol.com]

Hi Elden,
Thanks.  That's just what an old mechanic showed me how to do and it was 
several years and two or three cars later before I sprung for a neon timing light. 
 I found that doing it by "ear" was getting pretty close to the 
specifications.  I only wish I could read today's computer vehicles by listening to them.  
Do you suppose my age and artillery range related hearing loss is why I can't?
Regards,
Ron

For the Stovebolt Six engine, you don't need a timing light.  Just advance 
the timing until it pings a slightly at low speeds and high power (mash the 
accelerator at 10 mph in high gear) and doesn't try to kick back when starting.

You'll be able to check your timing at any time.  I've set up many of 'em 
just like that.

Take care - Elden
