    Hi,

    I was actually very happy to get a Harmon & Collins Magneto for my 1938 Flathead V8. However, now I would have a technical question; it seems we got an issue with the advanced timing here. I took the advance adjusting plates off, as the “drive” did not reach the cam-shaft. Where can I get a longer “drive” from and can anyone give me a hint how they did that in the good old times?

    Thanks Andreas

    I think I remember Speedway selling those drives. See if they have the right one for you.

    yea, thanks they do but only the standard size, not the longer one.

    Thx
