I just bumped my initial timing up to 20 to stop one problem now my total is 42 will this hurt anything as long as there is no pinging. how do Iget my total back to around 36?
Great article...thanks for posting it!
Question -- I always thought that more advance meant more top end and less bottom end....is that true?
you have it backwards.. in moderation advance is low end power, retard is top end power.
SO what is involved with "filing the slots or brazing the slots" ??
How tough is it to get "the correct yoke" ???
Any pics of this procedure??
So, the OP had asked if running 42* total will hurt anything.
If more advance is better for low end, why not run the 42 provided there is no pinging?
That is about where I am..(base is around 18 as I recall)..plugs look good, no pinging ever, even on 87 octane.
I am running an off-the-shelf distributor from Autozone.
I have a cam and my low end is a bit "soggy"...cant really do a burnout...LOL..... but from what I know that is due to the cam. (Running 3.55s with 29" tires, TCI Breakaway convertor)
Should I bump my base even more and see what happens?
Great article any chance of getting the second installment of that article.... the one on vacuum advance...
Very timely topic. A couple of memebers in our local club have manufactured a device which can be put in the distributor to allow you to easily adjust your advance without having to weld and file the slots. One of them did a write up about it in the latest club newsletter, and it looks like an awesome idea. They state that it is Patent Pending.
I will have the opportunity to talk to both of them at our Canada Day (July 1st) show, and will find out whether they are in process, and selling them. If so, I will post up some info sometime during the weekend

.I just got the Mopar Performance distributor from Summit Racing.
It's $170 and has adjustable mechanical advance. They do not mention it in the catalogue or online, so i was pleasantly suprised to see that.
Very easy to adjust. Just loosen 2 screws and move the stops to increase or decrease mechanical advance.
The vacuum advance is also adjustable, but they mention that in the specs
