Correct. It was an after market replacement and honestly I was expecting it to last more than a couple of years. Guess I'll be buying another one...

What am I lubing? The horn roller?

Right hand turn signal stopped working and was affecting the brake lights. This is only a couple of years old and there's already a bunch of brass shavings from the horn roller. But I digress. Separated the turn signal and looks like the contacts where deformed. I'm presuming these go around...

Thanks, I'll check them out.

None that I've made, but this car has been modified from stock. I'll takes pics of the alternator and the voltage regular and try pulling the connection to the regulator and see what happens. Pics of the regulator and alternator. I'll head back out after it stops raining and disconnect the...

Is this indicative of a bade voltage regulator?

I can pull my cable through the sleeve at the speedo all the way out of the transmission and put it back in with no issues. Spins as expected. I expect it's supposed to be square farther in. From what I can tell the copper peace is just a collar, the metal part inside is the magnet. I found...

Still looking for a pic if anybody has one lying around. It appears it should be a square connector. Found another video that looks like mine, but I can't see in there. I'm wondering if the previous owner drilled out the magnet on mine for some reason, but I don't have a reference to be sure.

750 RPM is what I used to dial it in, presuming I can trust my tach/dwell meter.

Thanks guys. I got it set just shy of 10 degrees and I took it on the highway. Looks like the pinging is gone. Thanks everybody for your help.

Guess I must have missed it. Will do.

The yellow mark is where TDC for piston 1 is. I'm presuming that's the correct one as it looks like there's a mark on both sides of the balancer. Problem is now, I've got it timed to 0 degrees and it falls on it's face when punching the gas from idle. Revs fine if I start it at maybe a grand...

Looks like VIM tools also makes one. Model V103. Also discontinued. Not seeing anything recently on eBay for that one.

I may just buy me a long 7/16 box wrench, heat it up and bend it until I can find an appropriate tool. I see they pop up on eBay once in a while.

Pulled spark plug for cylinder 1 and checked TDC. The yellow mark is dead in the middle of the dwell as far as I can tell. Time to hunt for a distributor wrench for this thing.
