Thanks guys

Thanks for the advice to purchase the ferret meter and light. Just used them this evening. SUPER EASY! Takes any guess work out of timing these engines. Getting everything out of the way was way harder than timing. Thanks Mac for the video. For anyone thinking about getting one, WELL worth it! My truck is very happy with the results! And me too!

Good deal K. I love it when a plan comes together! Did you end up getting the turnbuckles, and if so what size worked for you?

Mac.

The turnbuckles are a life saver! I got a 3" and a 6". My local hardware store didn't have any with hooks on both ends. The ones I got had a hook and eyelet, so I got some s hooks, problem solved! Thanks Mac. I got my meter from the link Mac had. They had the best price that I could find.

southtexasidi where in south Texas are you located? If you are in the Austin Bastrop area I have a ferret meter setup. If you are not to far away.
