Locked out distributor...

That’s why you put the ignition system on a distributor machine and test it. Then you know exactly what you have without trying to do it in the car and you exactly what happens at what RPM and if the box actually retards what it says it retards.
well since I don't have a distributor machine I'm going to have to go old school and yell to my wife over the revving motor to hit the button...
