...rear. Timing done with an Innova 3568 dial back light. After timing test, the engine wants 18* initial, and 34* mechanical. Bought a FBO plate and spring kit, assembled the distributor with both light springs from kit and the plate set on the 16* tabs. dropped the dizzy in, warmed...

FBO J685S Limiter plate with springs. Sold pending payment.

Arriving a little late to the show. I was able to get 25 degrees of mechanical advance with the FBO plate by filing carefully the 0 degree slots which I would never have used anyway. Pretty much the same as you would do after welding the slots on the cam. My 2 cents.

I believe I have what I’m doing figured out. I’ll be getting fbo module and coil. Then I’ll either buy the plate and spring kit to setup my distributor or buy the kit with a new Pertronix distributor. Does anyone know if it better to get that Pertronix distributor or stay with the mopar and...

Just a word of advice about the limiter plate. Watch that it does not cause the advance mechanism to stick. Some people have reported that.

Gentleman. My 360 smog block, alum head, 204/214 cam, stock converter, 69 dart likes 20 initial and 38 total. I'm using today an fbo plate at the 18 slot and changing the heavy spring for the light one in the kit. I have slight detonation at hard throttle. Should I switch to the 16 slot or jump...

Go here for the limited plate; FBO Ignition - Home of the HRR688

In upper rpms the mechanical advance is probably maxed out, so any further spring changes will likely make zero difference. Try the 16 position of your advance plate. 38 total seems a bit too much anyway. Or, just pull the base timing back a couple of degrees. That will bring your total down as...

can someone verify these numbers are correct? Either my old caliper is off, the fbo plate or the chart.

Correction: I looked more carefully, the limiter slots in the FBO plate in fact do line up with the governor slots at the end closer to the center shaft, I was mistaken.

...to make this thread about me. That being said, I agree that a new fuel filter with a bypass can only help things. I'm going to grab one next trip into town. Carb already has an insulated spacer. And I don't plan on using the fbo plate for anything more than testing before I weld the...

What is the diameter of the pins?

...! after getting the 273 up and running again as I mentioned in a earlier post that I noticed the timing was at 13" initial . it has the fbo plate in a mopar electronic distributor ... so I set it according to what fbo says with the plate set at 14* and 20* initial for a total of 34*...

How’s it going guys, I recently purchased a FBO lockout for my distributor. I installed the plate along with new springs included with the kit, and timing is all in at 34*. When I take the car for a ride everything is fine, all of a sudden it pings like crazy, stuck at like 30*. I pulled it and...

Maybe try calling FBO. He might be able to clear things up.

...initial setting of 16* you placed it at and work your way back on the plate until you get the actual 16* you need. I have never used the FBO plate, But I did 3D print my own version using the same chart posted in this thread, and it is very accurate. This issue is the very reason I started...

I believe it was a 819 cam... I would have to dig through the paperwork but it was in that range.

And this is a 360, correct? That's not a lot for a carburetor. If it's running lean that could certainly do it.

About 9:1 (maybe a little less), have a FBO plate so 18 initial and 30 all in and about 52-54 with the vacuum. Edelbrock 1405? Oregon Cams... basically what I use for the slants, aimed at low end torque low duration moderate lift. Dynamic compression about 180.

Me personally, I'd stay with the Mopar distributer. This is the one I bought from Rick Ehrenberg on Ebay. Works great , no issues, excellent to do business with, fast shipping. My distributer cap broke in shipping, Rick replaced it free of charge. Mopar Electronic Ignition Distributor...

...I wanted 16* at the crank, so roughly half the slot. The picture below has the 16* slots under the tbar. The inside of both pieces are flush, the fbo plate should restrict the travel by more than it does. my micrometer needs a new battery, so I wasn't able to get slot readings last night

This is exactly what I decided last night. Found what advance slot the engine likes. This weekend, I'm going to weld and file the the Tbar to match and toss the plate in the glove box. Probably not necessary, but it will ease my mind.

Ok, I was trying to eliminate the dizzy rotating a bit. I don't have an FBO plate, but you could measure the slots to make sure it's the correct slot. I know they are marked but it's something else to eliminate. dist. degrees / slot size 6.............. .340 7............... .355...

...hours, played soccer with my son for an hour or so, dinner.. ect. however, I did pull my distributor, and found I was able to move the fbo plate while the t-bar was still attached. the center hole on the FBO plate is machined to use that lip, that I'm pointing to on the t-bar, as it's...

Excellent comparison. You can actually see how inaccurate the plate is with no question whatsoever. The plate slt in that position "should" be about half the length of the slots in the governor and clearly it's not. We're being fleeced.

Misleading. You're being too nice. They are flat out WRONG. When you pay 45 bucks for a thin piece of metal, it ought to at least be RIGHT.

FBO Distributor Limiter Plate & Spring Kit Use the lightest springs in the kit, put the plate on "10" and set the timing with the vacuum advance disconnected and the RPM high enough that the weights are at full advance (with the light springs that is not bad, 2000-2500 RPM) to 30-33 degrees (I...

No I don't have a car yet, but I was wanting to just ask a question. What is a FBO plate and what is it's purpose? If nobody replies, I understand.

My governor is stamped 15L so would that make it add 30 degrees mechanical? So maybe I should run the Fbo plate (same as welding up the slots)?
