Thanks for the info. Remember guys im a noob so i appreciate all the help i can get. I double checked the T slots last nite. They are about 3 times as tall as they are wide. Still have to check the power valves. I was questioning that too. Where the car is running now the vac gauge is about 9. The builder who did my carb said he thinks they were 6.5 in it. Couldnt remember. Now ported vac would be on the metering block correct?
So correct me if im wrong. Im going to set the timing a bit higher into the 20 range for initial and then see what the total is. If its too higj or too low the dist needs changed to get the desired total time?
Also do any of you guys have experience with the non vac distributors from Skip White. All the things i have read and i dont see any negative. I would like to ditch the stock dist bit a name brand is just out of the question right now.
