Now that y'all remind me of that, perhaps what I am remembering is Ray added a nipple for smoke on mine... have not seen it in a while as it is in storage. Sorry for suspect information...

OK gentlemen, I have been in touch with Ray a few times as the timing issue unfolded, and he has created a new master rod that solves the slave-rod geometry problems. He said that all of the R3...

That was the implication, but not explicitly said. I do not know, but I would guess that it is the same basic design, and, thus, they both have the same issues. I am amazed, and thoroughly...

Isn't the ground for the three plug wire lines common? I can't imagine it is three separate ignitions in there... if so, removing one braid at a time should not be an issue, as there are two...

Yes, that is the way to check. Very interesting... 6-degrees over and 6-degrees under for cylinders 2 and 3, respectively. This makes sense due to the symmetry of the master rod. So it seems...
