Jegs and Summit seem to only carry timing tape that goes to 60 degrees. I'm looking for 360 degree tape. Anyone know a source?

You could mark the dampener your self. .0632683" around the circumference is 1 degree so w your vernier calipers measure out and make some marks on a long strip of paper then use it as a ruler to make magic marker marks at various points on the dampener. 5 deg is .316". 10 deg is .633". 35 deg is 2.214". 38 deg is 2.404". 5.694" is 90 deg. 11.388" is 180 deg. 17.082" is 270 deg. I would check true TDC w the cheap spark plug piston stop 1st. If you use a timing tape clean/scuff/clean the surface before you stick on the tape then spray it w some clear lacquer to glue it on there so it will stay put. EDIT cut a strip of paper 23" long and any generic timing tape for a 7.25" dampener will work

Thank you for your suggestion. I'm sure it would work. However, I'd rather just use my check book if the tape is available somewhere over the counter

You could use your checkbook and buy 6 60 degree tapes and end your search right now.

I don't think I'd trust the accuracy of a tape for 360 deg. anyway and I also don't see the point. If there's something you need to check, do it with a degree wheel once. From that point on any changes will be referenced by the tape and the #1 cylinder.

Thank you for your input. The reason for the 360 degree timing tape is to check ignition timing at each cylinder.
