They're about $15 and easy to install, and make it simple to see where your timing is set and to check your advance. I'd recommend the original size instead fo the "power pulley", which will not only require a different size belt but as an added "benefit" will also underdrive your fan. :-) Pat Walsh, '71 Westy, walshp@ippdsgi3.nawc-ad-indy.navy.mil
