Piers uses it and probably can sell it to you or point you in the right direction -

604 888 0057 or 604 888 0143



Or if you know the dampener size try this http://store.summitracing.com/section.asp?d=3&s=244

cummins 3824572 magnetic tape -5 to 40 degrees 9. 25" diameter pulley?

The tape is pretty thick, you might need to adjust the engine's speed sensor from the . 052 spec. to . 070. . or so.



Good luck. Andy

The harmonic balancer is 9 1/4" diameter. I just used masking tape and made a mark for top dead center. Then I figured where I should be shooting and made a mark there. I also made a mark for stock setting in a different color. Then I ran the engine and found where it was set, made a mark and ran it again to verify. Then measured how far I needed to go and did it.



I have a full set of instructions I wrote with a tool list if you are interested.

Timing was at about 9* I bumped it up to 15*



I haven't driven it much (maybe 20 miles) since changing it, so I don't know what the mileage numbers will be. I also changed the turbo at the same time, so I can't compare it performance wise.



Besides, I miss the old beast, so when I drive it, I drive it like I stole it.
