just wondering why you would want to change the timing gear, if that one drives fine then why doesn it need a new one (if it aint broke dont fix it haha) but if you do wanna change it i dont think it should hurt anything, i would say it would be an ok idea. just put it on the regular settings (some have advance and retard marks) just put it on the regular marks and it should work fine, what kind of timing set are you lanning on gettingHonda Motor= 1.6L
Soda Bottle= 2L

The late model smog motor timing setup was introduced post 1971 (I think71/72) to meet new pollution standards. The easiest way was to detune with a + or - timing set up. Therefore the easiest way to make a BB breath is with the pre- 70 setup. That is my understanding and it has borne itself out in the Dr. Jeckyl, Mr. Hyde change in performance in my 351m and two 460's. After that, a nice of Dove heads, headers, rv cam and it will keep pullin' long after your hands start to sweat.
4.10 gears help too. I don't even want to think of what highway gears would be like. For me 4.10's act like a foot governor
I'm concerned with what that change, to straight up 0 degrees will do to all the computer stuff(can it adjust?) injectors(which I know little about) etc. etc.
I'm sure somebody has done it, somewhere. Its an old, old therom of 460dom
