So I was walking around the Daytona Beach Turkey Rod Run looking for parts for my 54 chevy and some other parts for some friends and I fell into a gold mine. I picked each of these kits up for $10 bucks each!! Pics speak for theselves:

You did very well my man.... Usually the tools in the first box run around $150.00 on ebay... I bought two 6.9 tool kits for around $130.00 some time back. Just the seat reamer tool in the kit is over $300.00 ..... About the Rotunda timing meter... Its set up to time by the lumiy method but I don't see the luminosity probe.. If you have the probe its golden but if its missing... You have nothing. The meter wont work... Sorry to say that too.... I have two of those meters and two snapon mt 1480 meters and 4 kent moore j33300 meters with lots of lumiy probes.... The snapon probes are no longer sold... anywhere... Severl members here expressed a desire to buy these probes but... things are not happening yet... I'm selling the probes for $125.00 each if anyone is interested... Otherwise they are going on ebay soon.... I have no need for them and once they hit the ebay they are long gone... The ebay price has not been determined yet either...:sly Probably opeb at $150.00 and end at ???:dunno:sly

Its there, Everyting is in the kit except for a diesel fuel grading test tube thingy. The kit even had a "short ship notice" from back when the kit was shipped new with that part missing that said it would be shipped at a later date. I know the meter works, my buddy already timed his truck with it, I just havent had the time to do the research on how to use it correctly. The only timing Ive ever done was with a Ferret pop adapter to get 9.5btdc at 2000rpm And from what Iv heard the timing doing a luminoscity method you only shoot for like 2 or something

Not bad!

I won a 7.3 Rotunda set off ebay a couple months ago for around $20...it's missing part of the fan clutch wrench set, but it has the injector line nut and most of the other stuff. I think it's also missing the IP mounting bolt wrench too...bah

Hey Tom it would be interesting to see where your lumy meter says the timing is t 9.5*BTDC. I'm guessing somewhere between 0 and -1.5 at 1400. I time with luminosity and shoot for close to TDC, mine has drifted to about -1.5 though. Luminosity timing is more dependent on fuel cetane levels and for my B100 homebrew I assume a 47+ Cetane rating and much lower BTU/unit than the old high sulfur diesel.
