Re: Looking for distributor advance specs for 1110427 dist.
I have most of a Marquette unit. Makes me want to fix it up!

A distributor tester is just a way to spin and accurately measure what happens, the engine and a good advance timing light or mag timer, a vacuum pump and an accurate tach will do the same, just a whole lot less conveniently.
I used one in aircraft school to work on mag's, same equipment. That being said, if I ran across one at a reasonable price it would be coming home with me.
I would like to get my hands on a good alternator/generator/starter bench. I have one engine (3406 Cat) that is easy to work on alternators, all the rest a buried down by the frame. so when I overhaul, I need to put on the Cat, load test, and set the regulator before moving to other engines. At least all my heavy truck alternators use the SAE J mount. I'd have a problem working on a pad mount.
These test benches just make what ever you are doing that much easier, not that you can't do it with more simple tooling. It is why there are so few of them out there.
I used to love my digital Altest timer. you could even use it on a diesel with external fuel lines (not common rail), worked like a CPS on the modern stuff, and you could easly read the timing and advance off the display.
