So we have one advisor saying roll pins are the way to go, and another says use nails or some soft material.
How are we common folk supposed to know the correct way when the ones that are seen as the advisers of the site have differing views.
I have used nails, but according to al least one adviser that is incorrect.
Gentlemen, I am confused.
Cheers
Ray
P.S I hve recod several dizzys without the luxury of a Sun machine, I am happy they run better. Do our Gurus believe a dizzy is not done properly without one. Also I cant imagine that every so called work shop in by gone years had a sun machine.
Some say "Street is neat". I prefer "1928 is great" I have documented my 45 years with a 1928 Chev Tourer, from 1973 to 2018, and regulary add other items that I hope are of interest to others. Your comments are most welcome.The story of the Red Chev can be viewed at http://my28chev.blogspot.com/

No not every workshop had a "sun machine" but those that specialized in sports tuning did. In later years a dwell meter or an oscilloscope would show most if not all problems a sun machine would.
I have used both soft material and roll pins with no problems. The soft material would save other parts in the rare occassion that a distributor or oil pump locks up.

Ya, mine froze last year when I neglected to turn the greeser and after breaking it loose I used a nail. Still going.
I think I'm a fairly wise person because I'm smart enough to realise I'm not too bright.

Looks good. I dont think you will have any problem.Dont forget to put a little grease on the mechanical advance weights where they rub,a drop or two of oil in the felt in the top of shaft. Chevy37,If you are talking about the pill-sized felt, what does it lubricate? There doesn't seem to be anywhere for the oil to go.
Best Regards, Pat
