Timing Question

[icanfixall]

A few days ago a member asked how much is 10 degrees measured on the dampner. This question is because we do not have degrees marked on the timing tab. All we have is the zero mark and thats dead center of the short fat probe location. So I have a new oem dampner here and figured a circumference would help. the diameter is 7 inches. So 7 times 3.14 equals 21.98 inches. Now take that measurement and divide by 36 and you will have the 10 degrees you wanted. If all my measurements are done correct the 10 degrees equals .610 inches. Math is not my strong suite so if anything is incorrect please improve on what I have posted here. No harm will come to those that correct me...

Our Damper is larger in diameter than 7" all this is documented in one of the two timing tape threads, the original one I think.

So is all the math to do and what measurements down to the 13th decimal point...so we can say for sure where the mark need be.

Read the thread, do the math...

Or buy timing tape! that sheet was about 7 bucks...you figure it out....

Al I measured 2 of my dampners and they both are 7 inch diameter. Might be maybe 7 1/8 inch but not sure. At any rate what are you thinking the diameter is. Can you reference the timing post you did with the tape so I can see what you have found.
