Ok, I finally got to install my distributor today and this is how it was done, this is using a gen 7, using the factory balancer and crank hall effect sensor , but i am sure it applys the same to fast. Please correct me if i made any mistakes.
1. all but one reluctor tab was ground down to nothing.
2. A set screw was installed to lock the reluctor tab in position.
3. A line was scribed on the balancer at 1.45" (25 degree) and 3.48" (60 degrees) as on the stock balancer each .058" is one degree approx.
4. The motor was brought to 25 degrees BTDC instead of zero degrees. The distributor is now dropped in with the rotor centered on #1 cyl on the cap. As this is the timing i intend to run possiblly at WOT.
5. The distributer is now locked down in this position with the rotor pointing at #1 exactly.
6. The motor is now brought back to 60 BTDC and the reluctor tab is now lined up with the reluctor pickup and the sets screw is loctited and tighten.
Am i on the right track?
