340 Chugging instead of Reving

That’s true. And I forgot, he’s running a 685 box. If he wants to lock it out at 35 or even a bit more he can as that box has a built in start retard that he can activate and adjust. I think up to 20 degrees.
Really it’s just for testing. I like a curve in a street car. But for a race car with a decent converter I dont see why anyone runs a curve. I’m not familiar with the Mallory magnetic pickup distributors though. I’ve only used their optical pickup distributors. @1969GTS340 do you have a part number on that distributor?
