    Here's my retard

    A few longer screws, washers and springs, a .030 feeler gauge and alittle filing to make the holes longer and it's done.

    Works great push forward to start then pull back to run and she'll be at 35 degrees with the mech advance.

    I have it set to retard the timing just after TDC to save the crank, starter and battery.

    What are you using for the mechanical advancer?

    Why did you go away from the stock advancer?

          Can't tell from the pic but it looks like maybe the cover? Being an easier replace if needed I would think cover.

            I'm still using the stock advance.

            All I did was file down the cover. I'm not going to notch it, I'll just let the springs hold it in place.

            Since I put this 1150 head on my compression is 200 psi. Sometimes it's kicks the engine over backwards (hard) with to much advance. This should solve my problem.

            The best thing is I'll never have to look for a feeler gauge again to gap my plugs. Gap them all today.

            One of these days I'm goimg to buy me one of those fancy 50 dollar camera.

              "I'm still using the stock advance. "

              Did you remove the weights and springs and weld it?

                  The stock advance still has the weights, all I did was to grind them down so they have more travel. That way I don't need to move the lever that far to retard the timing to just past TDC.

                    I have done this in the past with my 1394cc turbo engine before i started using a dyna to retard the timing.It works GREAT
