John,
It is a mild 440 with reported 9:1 compression ratio in the rebuild. I set at 32 total because, I wanted to baseline it first before going incrementally changing it. It has run so well, I figured why fuss with it.
Mike
How hot does it get, that total is a little low? A local with a mild 440 is/was having hot running issues and it's timing was set at 34 last I knew ?

I have a 190 sat and 3 core aluminum rad (26") and stays at 1st line when cruising, she will get slowly warmer when sitting in traffic for periods, but it has been very warm and humid here too. Mike

Hmm...Think I should just try one, even without the vacuum advance, although Id like it for my street car. Thinking if I should also use that new firecore dist. with the associated coil, with this...
I have a stock cast bottom end 318 w/ RHS heads-62cc, 202/160 valves, beehive springs-, RPM manifold, hughes 1.5 roller rockers, 234/244 @.050, 488/510, 112 LSA (eddy RPM cam), mated to a 4 speed, 3:55 sure grip.
I currently have the older FBO ignition box & coil, with an older stock mp distributor. would like to try something different.

Most mopar distributors are not phased properly, however the ones built by mallory with the adjustable advance plates seem to to be good in phasing.
can you explain this? what does that mean, being phased properly for vacuum advance?
i run vacuum advance with my MSD, and have never noticed any issues.

BulltBob, apparently the Kook Ade it produces is not Kook Ade ,its a placebo Keith
Had you already informed the KoolAid or KookAde guy of your results before this thread? We don't want him driving trucks through your results!
On the serious side though you have convinced me with your results

@ RapidRobert, thanks for the how to on the rotor phasing, it helped make the posted video clearer. I'll have to give it a try. Great thread guys, here, have a beer.
I can't afford this.

I plugged mine in and it would not start the car. I plugged my orange box back in and it started right up. I have not had the time to call Troy yet to see what went wrong.
Ok guys....I have the same issue. Just changed out the coil to a new Blaster 2, the supplied ballast resistor, and the Rev-n-nator. The Rev box wont start the car. Switched back to the orange box and she fired right up...
I called Troy and left a message. Any ideas?

So I went back out earlier and the car finally started. For some reason, it just didnt fire right away. I also got a call back from Troy, and we spoke for about 30 minutes. He explained how things worked, and gave me some tips for timing. I tried starting the car after it sat for a couple of hours and I gotta say that it seems like I didnt even get a full rotation on the starter and she fired right up. According to Troy, in a no-start condition like mine, its usually low voltage at cranking, just as was stated earlier in this thread. Im quite happy with the customer service I received. I havent driven the car yet, so I cant speak for that side of things. Based on the level of support and customer service however, I dont expect any further issues.

Looks like all the positives overwhelm the only negative in the bunch
Starter drag will affect cranking voltage

I bought the Rev-n-nator for the Superbird, simply to get a good reliable ECU with a built in Rev limiter, not for any serious HP gain. I am happy with the way it runs, I also upgraded to the MSD Blaster coil - be sure to use the High vibration one if mounted sideways, like the stock configuration. The regular blaster coil is only recommended to be installed "standing up" with the coil wire at the top. I did not hook up the vacuum advance, just set my full advance at about 35 degrees max and the car runs great. This is a 4,000 lb car with a 500 cube stroker, 4-speed and 3.54 gears. About 3500 rpm @ 70 MPH. I drove the car back and forth to Detroit (900 mile trip) last month for the Aero meet and got just over 13.5 mpg running at about 72 mph. The vacuum advance may have helped some but I didnt think that was too bad.... I would buy one of these again. Definately better than the orange box that failed previously and the parts store replacement that I had on the car.

If you get a chance, the ohms # is stamped on the end. Thanks
