"Baselining" my 225
Lastly, I swapped out the distributor for one restored and recurved by @halifaxhops . I also took the opportunity to add the Pertronix.
The car is running so, so much better now. The timing may need to be bumped up just a bit. I was shooting for 19* BTDC at idle and ended at 8*. It's hard for me to tighten down the clamp without the timing moving (operator error....no an equipment issue).
The car runs really well now, so maybe I'll go through a couple of tanks of gas and then pull a plug. Do you think it might like 10 or 12 degrees better?
