63 Dodge Dart, now let me see;)

Wondering what you have your initial ignition timing set at?

I know Halifax set you up with a nice Mopar HEI conversion distributor and a Pertronix 45,000 volt coil.

Now if you have more than 15° BTDC initial timing, that can create heat.

Factory timing is 12° BTDC, but being the HEI and PIII 45,000 volt coil that burns a faster spark (with the plugs opened up to .040 ths) that advances the timing in itself.

So to compensate > back down the timing to 10° BTDC.

If you choose to go with a 60,000 volt (square e-core coil, full 12 volts) which your ignition will handle, then you can back the timing down to 8° BTDC, with the plugs gapped at .050ths.

Set with the vacuum advance canister plugged and capped as you know. Then hook back up after timing is set.

Less initial timing = less heat.
Dialing in the fireball at top dead center for the most efficient burn and power of the compressed fuel.
