It is a lot less expensive to buy a digital distributor and program it with your laptop or cell phone.



Fact. It takes a long time to sort out a timing curve. Then getting the distributor to do what the engine wants is another story.

Most engines I see want a bunch of initial, almost no advance through peak torque and then a curve to peak hp. Quick curves and locking them out generally kills power at and around peak torque.


Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston
