If it's not putting it's full potential to the pavement it's not set up right .

As far as STOCK look , a pertronics inside the stock dist housing or an ELECTRONIC pickup installed in the stock housing connected to an MSD box HIDDEN out of sight .

It dynoed @502hp with msd/electronic distributor,
I'm running a Mallory dual point distributor in the car. It seems to pull well, somtimes it starts breaking down at higher Rpm. I have the points set at 17. and running a stock coil,using firecore 50 plug wires with autolite 85.(full timming is set at 36*.)

I ran Mallorys for years and its a good distributor. Try and get it on a dist machine and set the dwell. Remember 3K on the machine equals 6K on the engine. If I remember right dwell should be around 35, a lot more accurate than point gap. Also the machine will show if your getting point bounce which could occur, I just bent the springs out to add a little more tension when I put a set in. I've heard of the dist cam lobe wearing down and causing a problem but I've never seen it, thats why they give you that little pill full of grease when you get new points, to grease the cam lobes.
