There has been alot of talk lately over on the slantorg website concerning dist.
Pain to post pictures over there and am hoping someone here can fill me in on the ins and outs of dist.
At this point I am running points type dist, I plan to convert to electronic later on but I am starting out with the basics cause thats what I feel is best for me.
I have no interest in Hei at this time, I do not want to deviate from the stock look.
I have a few questions,
1- Is there one particular year of slant whos dist is better than another, I have read tid-bits of info about plastic gear versus metal gears but dont know specific details.
2- They are talking about a super six dist and I believe the benefit is the advance mechanism within the can, they are saying that the cans are marked I believe on the outside so that the advance amount can be easily identified?
I have some re-manufactured dist still in the box purchased from local parts stores, two electronic and two points type, I see no markings on the cans.
I know very little about advance but as far as I can tell you guys are trying to get a quicker advance by loading weaker/different springs ( possibly )
I can post pictures if needed of my dist.
I have a 1986 Hydraulic engine I am putting back together. Thanks
EDIT: I did purchase a spring kit from a fellow on slantorg website, havent gotten as far as to figure any of that out though
