Got to thinking why do we need an adjustable timing light to time our trucks if we use a Ferret adapter
WE DO NOT!
Or do we?
So we don't have timing marks scribed onto the harmonic like most SB Ford chev etc or most other gassers right
Thus we have no point of reference to line up for a timing mark with a timing light.
Well it came to me when I was discussing this with my friend about PROPANE timing and whats required.
What if we took the DIAMETER of our harmonic, I think it's about 7" IIRC someone can correct or correlate that as fact.
So here we have a known diameter of harmonic
Thus why not go to say Summit racing or some other place and invest in timing tape like what is pictured below?
I don't know if this is something that would work or NOT, Now a fully degreed harmonic would be sweet so I'm thinking timing tape is cheap, why not, I mean WHY NOT buy some and I'll try it on my setup comparatively to my meter???? Anyone see anything wrong with this idea?????
Here is a variety of the tapes

If anyone has any suggestions or ideas let me know I'll be willing to test this theory ASAP when I get the harmonic diameter figured and when I get the correct tape.
Just thinking out loud here trying to make things a little simpler!
