Timing Groups To Be Canceled
Usage:
The 1P3500 Timing Group has been canceled, and, in the near future, the 2P8280 Timing Group also will be canceled.
Their replacement, a new diesel timing indicator, will be available in the fourth quarter of this year. The new digital readout instrument uses a pressure transducer instead of a strobe light and a flow switch.
The new diesel timing indicator can be used for all 1100, 3200, 3300 and 3400 Series Engines.
