Both are 318 2 bbl
1968 points distributor out of a truck
Or
1976 electronic distributor out of a charger
Car won't be raced. Just some spirited driving here and there
I don't know yet if the 68 is worn out but I can put a pertronix kit in there.
I don't know much about the mechanical advance or vacuum advance of either of these.
Not sure if the mechanical or vacuum advance curve is any better than the other.
Don't know if the 1976 came from a lean burn car. The car did have the two barrel and I think the lean burn was 4 bbl
When I hooked the electronic distributor up the first time it didn't work. This was with a new control box from autozone.....the box is gold in color. I may have hooked it up wrong at the time. This time I won't.
Was going to install the electronic and set the total timing to 35°
Running the car up to the point where the total timing stops. Guessing that's 2500rpm.
I'll push it till timing stops to see where it's at.
Trying to figure out the best route with what I have.
