Quote: I don't want to change out anything right now. It is a brand new internally balanced engine, and I sprung for the roller cam upgrade and other goodies, so I really can't afford nor want to start unbolting and replacing parts.
He also said he has an MP distributor , which one , new or old , was this what it had when it came from Muscle motors and a POS ORANGE BOX ....
Fix the ignition first then throw other parts at it .
I saw that John on my 2nd re-read and my 'spanking' from dogdays! I also aSSumed it was the same ignition system. that too was probably a mistake!
I missed a bunch , he has an OLD MP distributor , he said he bought it 3 yrs ago but doesn't say if it was new or used , currnet or NOS, but we know it's an old one.
I ASSuME he put that on after he received the engine from MM as I doubt they would have let it leave the shop without it being setup for both inital and max advance ?????
Anyway Larry if you are going to buy a new ignition I would Look at the latest and greatest from MSD , the plug and play that has built in rev limiter and other features ... I wish they would make this one for Low decks ....
