[Tigers] Timing

[Ron Fraser]

Picture 1 is the early style Ford distributor with oil port, ID# C2OF-J - note there is 1 slot size for each weight - this is the area that I have seen wear problems 

Picture 2 is the later style Ford distributor, ID# C8AF-E - note the 13L & 18L slots - the 13L slot is being used in this example

Just wanted to show the differences in these 2 mechanical advance systems

The Tiger distributor I bought from Sunbeam Specialties(was years ago) was the kind with the two position advance limit.  I just had to turn it to the more limited stop, put in lighter speed shop springs and then limit the vacuum advance. All on my stock 260, works great, still on regular gas.
