So if I pull up the initial timing would I have to limit the distributor weight? How much timing would a stock distributor be adding? I'm probably gonna put some tape on the balancer and see what it's totaling at.
You don't limit the WEIGHT, you limit the total mechanical TRAVEL. You do that by using an FBO limiter plate or disassembling the distributor and welding and refiling the governor slots, which is the method I prefer.
