Quote: yeah, I know, but the current distributor was modified over 20 years ago and the slots were welded and all, Even its builder has forgotten what he exactly done to it,so I'm starting with a new one since its a borrower and then I can adjust all I need to get the sweet spot.
I assume it runs best at 50 total... if this is correct you can put in all the dist you want and it wont change... I would look at the valve timing... since you know the damper is 0 you can use that as the degree wheel and put a indicator on the retainer for a quick check
