MFI protractors
I know these things are rare but $4,500.00!
 Click I'd be shocked if he gets 1/4 of his asking price but I guess you never know.

That's silly. I paid $140 for a 2.2 set and found the 4th piece at another time for maybe 50 bucks, which I thought was pretty high.

I would sell my protractor set for way less than that.
 But then again I don't have the 2,4 "third protractor."Hmm. . . maybe I should list mine for sale to help fund the restoration of my '66? I have only used them once and frankly found them to be of limited utility.

Hey Milt, I thought you were going to make some of these?

Also, many have claimed that the protractors did not help much as there is not a lot of variable adjustment in the linkage as a whole. If you follow the CMA in adjusting the linkage, you get down to the 114mm +- 2mm on the pump rod and you can just fiddle with that to find the sweet spot if your system is that tight. Few are. I might not ever use mine, but I probably won't sell them. Nice conversation pieces. |

Roger that. I've built one or two MFI engines and never used the protractors. I couldn't imagine the engines running much better. But if I spent $4500 for protractors, I would definitely think they ran better!
