stroker distributor questions

Damn guess I am Drunk..........and on Crackkkkkkkkk both........haaaaaaaaa

Found this on the net........

no matter which term is used...
locked out
or
locked in..

it means that the distributor internal advance mechanism does not change / move the timing...

some electronic ignition systems can have a "internal" electrical or electronic mannor that changes (retards) the timing....usually to help in starting....

it is pretty difficult to start an engine that has 34 degrees in it all the time...
some will barely even crank.
