apologies,timing, and msd distributors

since there was a heated discussion last night regarding timing, advance, etc. i thought that i should clear something up.

first off, i want to apologize to ALL members here for my outbursts that were directed to a certain member. regardless of who was right and who was wrong, i should have held my composure a bit more or just not posted. i had just returned from a trip, tired and sick and already had a short fuse. well 1 thing led to another and i posted some things not very proper. so after this post i will fall into the shadows and not post for awhile.

when a msd distributor is set to total advance(lets say 35* for the sake of conversation), it will STILL have initial when you drop it down to idle unless you have removed the springs and weights and bushing and installed the lockout plate.
mopar3762 refuses to believe that he has any initial timing yet in his post #33 of 69chrgr "still not there" he list that he has SILVER advance springs and was adamant about initial does not matter as well as his addition of initial/total is out of whack. then he lists he has full advance in by 1800 wiith the blue spring, then he has full advance in by 1400 with the silver spring. which is it man? i did booboo and say something about starter kickback whichi meant starter load. 2 different things.
the bottom line is that i didn't appreciate his condescending remarks to multiple members here and thought i should speak up. well that didn't work.
it just got him started. so once again, i apologize and i will see you guys later.
