Default Determining engine timing...

Does anyone have a picture of a circle that is divided in 360 segments that can be used to determine engine timing...

I've been trying to figure it out with a CAD program, but I'm not really into that stuff, so I haven't had any luck so far...

Maybe there are some CAD drawers out there that can make one up for me? It can't be a lot of work, you just have to know how...

I could always make one by hand, but I like the clean look of something that came out of the computer...

I was thinking of using a CD-ROM for a disc, so if there's someone out there that can draw me something...that's the size I'm looking for...

Thanks.

The easy way is to go to any school supply shop or similar and just buy a clear plastic 360 degree protractor. Drill a 1/4" hole in the centre and just bolt it on.

Yeah, I've been looking for that... so far I've only found the 180° version... Of course the local shop isn't that well stocked.

I may have to expand my search...

I even searched the web for a clear picture of a cam degreeing tool that the car guys use...but there's always some sucker that has his hand in front of it...
