Anyone have a link to share for a high def, printable cam timing wheel or possibly a high def scan of one you own? Everything I've found so far is too pixilated and fuzzy when printed out.
Thanks
Paul

Paul, it may be that its not the image that's causing the fuzziness, but your printer and its dpi settings. Go to"properties" for your printer and see what the setting is and hopefully your printer has higher settings available. The best would be at 1200 dpi; 600 is quite reasonable; 300 is pretty standard; anything less and image quality degradation is very apparent.

Paul,
There are several printable versions online. Here's a couple as an example. I personally used the first one after printing it and sticking it on an aluminum plate:

Also, I just posted this on the MGB forum last week. Also usable on MGA since it has the a crank pulley with the same diameter (5-1/8" ).
