Pamco suitability

Hi,
I bought this from Mikesxs
https://www.mikesxs.net/yamaha-xs65...utput-electronic-ignition-kit-e-advancer.html

It has come with the new advance rod and 3 bushings, made for CDI models. Can I use this rod and replace my bushings with these brass ones in my 1973 TX650? Just wandering if its compatible.
I've searched and read so many threads but cant find an answer!

Thanks in advance

Starting with a stock ignition in a '73 TX650, you should already have a camshaft fitted with bushings, an advance shaft, and an advance unit.

The advance shaft and bushings in your kit were meant for the pointless TCI ignitions of the '80-'83 models. They're now spare parts.

But, you could replace your old advance shaft with that new one. Closely inspect, measure, and confirm that the lengths match. When fitted, you want just a little endplay of the advance shaft in the camshaft, say about 0.2-0.3mm...

Thanks Twomany, I will have a measure and compare. I guess the bushings could also be used if they fit. My old advance rod needs replacing thats why I went for that kit, so fingers crossed it all measures up, otherwise I'll be forking out more $ for another rod!
