Anyone here using a crank trigger with a distrib NOT locked? Rather than using a MSD start retard, has anyone sucessfully used a distrib with mechanical advance with very light springs, so that advance only works BELOW idle? At cranking speed distrib retards, but after RPMS get to, say 1000 RPM's, advance is in and stays in? Any other options? I haven't tried to lock dist now and crank the engine with 36* advance. I would imagine that would be hard on starter?
Thanks, Brian
