The E-Z Adjust pro­vides a precise way to
easily make incremen­tal timing adjustments.
The kit is supplied with
two hex mounts, one
threaded, the other is
not. The location of the
mounts determines
whether the adjusting
screw will be accessible
from above or below
the vehicle. It will be
easier to remove the
pickup bracket assem­bly from the engine to
install the Adjuster.
Also, determine if you
prefer to adjust the tim­ing from above or be­low. Figure 1 shows the
complete assembly
with the adjustment
made from above.
