Just installed my new Summit small block balancer.
It went on very tight. After installing I noticed that the engraved timing marks are to the outside of the balancer and not on the inside closests to the timing mark on the front cover.

this seams very weird. I have one other summit balancer and a Rattler and they have their marks close to the front cover.

The way this balancer is marked it will make it difficult to use the timing light and set timing.

Anyone else see this problem with their Summit Balancers??

I took a straight edge ruler and extended my marks over with a white paint stick. By the way check the timing marks as mine were off by 3 degrees. I also painted my damper black on both sides of my timing marks ( TDC and 36 degrees ) because the timing marks were hard to see on the shiny surface with the timing light.

How I solved that problem - and made an adjustable pointer at the same time.

---- and while you got the H20 pump off, you might as well make this mod.

No clue, but I can run in 100 degree outside temps with 15 minutes between rounds and the motor stays under 200. Mod cost next to nothin, so why not?

I totally agree with you...and on a lot of your previous points on other stuff. How's the DUI holding up BTW?

Awesome. In 3 years worth of beatings the only thing I have done is roll in a fresh cap and rotor. You do need a charging system that will feed it 13.8 to 14.2 consistantly. I have run gaps as wide as .055" with no problems. Normally run .040" though.
