If you need that info >let me know and I'll send it to you. I reply: Martin: Thanks for getting back to me! I am just about to go out and adjust the valves and I will have to time the engine soon... I don't have a degree pulley. I've seen them advertised--are they easy to install without taking everything apart, or do I have to wait until I take the engine out...? At this point I only have the notch and have no idea where to locate 5 degrees...I could guess, but that would be cheating... also, I found out today that I have a Bosh009 distributor...does this make a diff? Any comments and help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance! J89 / ! ) <+) (") (.> ---Hey! Support your local scene!
