What setting does the retard default to?
Reasons to lock the distributor:
1. one less thing to fail
2. fewer questions
3. less maintenance
4. don't understand what an advance curve does
5. bought it that way
The best spark setting for mixed use is not, ever, a single position. Beyond a certain RPM, and assuming WOT, a single setting is very close.
Bought it that way thinking I had a start retard and it wouldn’t be an issue. Wrong!
MSD digital 6 manual says it retards timing 20 degrees. I guess I also planned for this car to be race only, but now
I’m getting some street use out of it.
