My International 674 tractor has points. Good luck on the timing bit, I'm totally jealous.
I don't know anything about timing specs at idle. I will say that it really means nothing since the engine is timed at 2000RPM.One more thing...does 14* at 700 rpm and 12* at 2000 rpm sound like my meter is set up/working properly?
How much more is that?Sure nuff, there's a timing light attachment. When you get one and have it figured out, feel free to take a vacation to majestic NW Florida and bring it with you. I got a 300 gallon tank of oil that I can top you off with!
I have no idea, but when I was looking at that stuff I did see that they are available.How much more is that?
No, that's a regular timing light for a gas vehicle with real plug wires.Would this work?You must be registered for see images attach
I didn't realize there was a "newer" model. All the ones I've seen and have read about on here are the "military surplus" from the gulf war. Thank you for clearing that up.It should work. The newer DTI units like mine have a metal loop (maybe called a transducer loop) in the cubby at the back, under the lid hinge that's used in place of the spark plug wire. Attach the spark plug lead to it and that will give you the signal. At least that's my understanding from reading the instructions.
On second thought, after looking at that light for myself, I don't think it will work. It has to be an adjustable light and I didn't see where it's listed as being adjustable. The DTI light above it that's listed for $80 is the one that you will need. It came out to right under $100 for me. You can use a different gas engine timing light as long as it's adjustable.
I got mine on Ebay for under $200 and it has the transducer ring/clamp for the fuel line that Bronco mentions.I didn't realize there was a "newer" model. All the ones I've seen and have read about on here are the "military surplus" from the gulf war. Thank you for clearing that up.
That's the "pezo" that attaches to the fuel line, isn't it?I got mine on Ebay for under $200 and it has the transducer ring/clamp for the fuel line that Bronco mentions.
Here's a pic from one that's on Ebay now that I added an arrow pointing to the clamp.
