    Distributor-mechanical advance ONLY

    I know I don’t have vacuum advanced anymore.

    Sally and BB2 talked about timing at the Rockwall Bash here and there.

    I would like to get a better understanding and play with a carb again…in future.

    Please describe your process how you guys are doing it?
    Many years ago I ran a Mechanical only distributor with less knowledge.

    Thanks Mike.

    I have done all that already with 289 and Duraspark. Especially the fun spring clip inside under the felt pad in shaft.

    Now what?

    Yeah......that 'that-thangs-a-booger' ain't it!

    What did you do inside the duraspark once you dug to the bottom?
    Need a little more back ground....
