stroker distributor questions

340sFastback said

I run my distributor at 34 degrees locked, as in no mechanical timing, and it starts right up hot or cold no problem. I had to run it locked due to 108 LSA cam and 2500 stall converter. It surged in gear when I had it at 21 initial and 34 total. 10.3:1 compression eddie heads stroker small block. Drives nice, smooth, and quiet at low rpms too. Oh, and its a Mallory Unilite very easy to lock or set the curve any way you want. No external box either.

Do you use a REV limiter?? If so what kind?
The reason I ask this is with my 410 it comes on the pipe very fast, 4spd and I am sure yours does also. If something lets loose or I miss a shift it saves my azzzzzz. Happened the other day bounced of the revv chip at 6800rpm. If I didn't have it chances of it revving to 8k+ before I recovered could have been catastrophic. I dropped a valve and took out a cylinder on my 340 when the same thing happened without a limiter. I run the MSD Digital 6 now.

By the way I recovered got it in 2nd and kicked a 64 GTO's azzzzzzz!! The guy pulled up at the next light and said DAMN that car haul's assssssss. :-D
