What you're missing is that every engine is slightly different. You'll have to experiment and keep performance and mileage logs to really get it right. I sure hope that distributor has vacuum advance! If not you're going to sacrifice a lot of economy. |

I was just thinking the same thing. Most Mallory distributors, I have seen do not have a vacuum advance. OK for racing, but terrible on a street driver.Is it a dual point or a unilite dist? |
