I found out that fabo sells a kit that i can install too change the initial timing on my current distributer and it is only 40 bucks. Somone mentioned doing that vrs buying a brand new distributer for 175 bucks. I guess it comes with instructions on how to install and i can change the mechanical advance and get it to where i cn run a higher initial. Any of you guys heard of this kit? is it worth buying or should i just buy a new distributer?

FBO(not fabo) does sell some good stuff. However most of us just mention to shorten the slots in your stock distributor because once you have the mechanical advance slots shortened you basically leave it and never play with it after that. For this reason investing in an adjustable one is overkill. I would just take your spare distributor, take it apart and have someone spend literally 2 seconds with the mig welder and shorten weld the slots up a bit. Then you can open them back up with a file, dremel, die grinder, etc.

I agree w what DaytonaTurbo said but if you're not comfortable undoing the clip & going inside the dist several times to get the slots/springs right then the newer Mallory built one may be the way to go but that is alot of $$$. anybody local that can help you w this?

Another possibility, you can always purchase one of the many digital ignition units out there. You can set curves, start/end points, initial, doglegs, even timing for individual cylinders, all from your laptop, ipod/ipad/Iphone or adjustments on the unit itself. Just tossin it out there.
