anyone try the Revenator?

maybe I got a dud or did something wrong.....suppose to be pretty much plug and go.

after 3 hours and multiple test drives....I put my old orange box back on.

it acts like it retards the snot out of the ignition.....and if I advanced the distributor to make it run decent....it would not start (turn over). according to their instructions, it advises to retard the timing 2-6 degrees and NOT utilize the vacuum advance.

of course, I am playing / testing during non business hours.....anyone give it a try?
