so, lacking a bently at the moment (all those t1 manuals arent worth
a hill of beans right now!) i want to do a tuneup but i cant for the
life of me find any timing marks on the fan/pulley, or anywhere else
for that matter. also can i tune this statically, or do i need a
timing strobe?
also is there a way to see what the spray pattern of my injectors? i
dont know,  but imagine they are somewhat clogged. has anyone made a
test rig of a fuel pump hooked directly to an injector? im thinking
of putting something like this together and running some injector
cleaner through each one for a couple hours. is this inadvisable? is
the injector cleaner you get at the gas station (stp, gunk, et
cetera) snake oil, or does it really work?
thanx
