If this is truly a strip only engine, it is easy to lock the distributor out, FOR SERIOUS DRAG RACING.
Take the gear pin out of the gear, remove the gear and spacers, pull the shaft assembly up, lower the rotor plate on the shaft, and see the single hole 180 degrees opposite the groove the stop pin is in. Rotate the shaft in the rotor holder, to the hole, and insert the rotor holder into the hole, reassemble, done, locked out timing, where you set it there is where it stays.
