i have to be honest and say that i am a decent fabricator but something like this i am willing to spend the $35 and know that its goin to be accurate. i dont own a lathe or a caliper. it is a very interesting idea though.
I hear ya. Me too easier to buy it sometimes. A lot of guys do make their own. I would guess your gunna end up somewhere like Cracked is telling you ....26 initial and a 10* bushing=36* , if your ignition box has a start retard feature you can get away with even more initial timing and guys use that feature also with locked out dizzy's.
