Hello Friends. It's been nearly a year since I posted here. It took me a few days to get back into the forum because I forgot what e-mail address I used to join originally. But I finally figured it out.
My question is dealing with my current distributer. I have a Frankenstein Super Six in a '74 Dodge Dart. Last year I converted over to a MSD sending unit and coil and it really gave the motor a little pep in my opinion. However, I am experiencing some mild timing issues.
Here's my dilemma. The Dart has become my daily driver due to my other car needing over $1500 in repair. And I am broke these days like most everyone else. My current distributer looks to be probably a rebuilt unit. Not the best option by any means.
But the thing that is driving me nuts is that the distributer currently on my engine is not fully adjustable. The adjustment at the bottom only allows me a 1/4 movement or so in either direction. And my timing is mildly retarded causing a rough idle in drive and a high idle in park.
I need a fully adjustable distributer because I need to advance the distributer a couple of teeth counter clockwise by my estimations but I run out of adjustment. I have seen distributers that allow a 360 degree rotation but like I said, the one currently on my car is barely adjustable.
I was looking at a Mallory but it is almost $400. And I really do not have that kind of cash right now. Does anyone know of a cheaper and fully adjustable distributer out there on the market anywhere. Whenever I look online, I cannot tell by the photos how adjustable the units are. The photos do not show the bottom adjustment pivot and the descriptions do not mention it.
Any help is highly appreciated.
