The original Ford MB-F1 is poor, both for instructions using the fixture and especially without it...
Flathead distributors are tenacious items and having your timing set correctly with a fixture is truly only the way to do it properly.
Many guys also look at other reasons why they think their flathead runs poorly.
9 times out of 10 it is an inproperly set up distributor and/or defective ignition coil.

Default Ford distributors,

Several years ago i posted about syncronising ford SV V8 disy's, i think on a threar by wilanthry.
in Australia there were some aftermarket point sets that were difficult to syncronise. you had to alter the point gap to get the total dwell right.
On the model shown the disc raises and lowers to accomadate both late and early disys.

Fellows

Just googled servex distributor timing fixture and it has led me to this thread.

Has anyone got the instructions on how to use one.

Like Lynn I was fortunate enough to find a good one at a swap meet.

Would be handy to know how to use it properly.

Default Thanks Charlie

I did have a look - for the Wasco timing fixture.

Mines a Servex Aussie made one. The same if not identical to the one in Lynns picture.

Anyone ??
