Now, when I swapped my ROMAC in for the POS balancer that fell apart my timing marks were about 7 degrees different. I've read that this is a common problem known throughout the industry but that no one really gives a crap about it so it never gets fixed.
LOL, I thought your timing marks were 7 deg out on your old one(as a measurement of movement) when I replied. I did not understand you were talking about the replacement, That is crazy!!!
