"Race distributor". No ADVANCE?

An engine needs a specific ignition timing at specific rpm's.
Locking out the timing at 36 degrees means the engine won't properly burn the mixture at anything other than high rpm wide-open-throttle.

Looking ahead on your already planned engine swap... I understand you're a young guy and this is your first 'old' car, but 'spraying' an engine without knowing how the basics work, can get you a lot of scrapped engine parts very quickly.

No no, I understand that. I've had sprayed boosted cars. Lol, but with coil packs, and software to tune/pull timing, watch afrs, ect. Hence I'm asking questions. This is new to me only in the sense of how it's controlled. For instance my big turbo car we ramped timing to peak tq. Pulled all timing to launch. Ect. I don't know with a setup like this how this is all accomplished. Obviously I'm not gonna have it advanced with spray that far.
