Iginition for Hemi...help.

i have cast iron prestolites dists with mopar elec pickups, msd box under dash. all stock componets on firewall with dummy harness. fools the best of them. they all come up at shows and say you still use mechanical charging?,stock ballast?stock coil? its msd coil painted black and lettered,and all elec charging under dash also. i just say oh ya its all stock and spins 7.5k just like that

what are the symptoms that are telling you that there is more on the table that could be had?

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.
