The Speedmaster Harmonic Balancer Timing Tape (PCE484.1001.02) is a precision measurement tape designed for automotive engine tuning and ignition timing adjustment. This black timing tape fits harmonic balancers with diameters ranging from 5.25" to 8.00", making it compatible with a broad range of small-block and mid-size engines commonly found in classic cars, street rods, and performance vehicles.
Used in conjunction with a timing light, this tape allows you to accurately read and set ignition timing by marking and indexing the balancer's rotation against engine TDC (top dead center). The adhesive-backed design adheres directly to the harmonic balancer surface for reliable reference during tune-ups and engine diagnostics. Essential for carburetor tuning, emission compliance testing, and performance optimization, this timing tape is a staple tool for mechanics, hot rodders, and DIY engine builders working with traditional ignition systems.
