Congratulations on getting more HP and “traction-less” torque with your new
ignition! Always nice to exceed expectations.

Back in the day , a dual point ignition was the hot set up.
Forward 20 years and I used an Accel electronic dist . right out of the
box....advance curve? what is that? big ole yellow Accel coil.
Forward another 25 +years, out to lunch-- with performance engines.
Now with my first big block Mopar, new learning experiences.
-- Some of you may remember my 3000+ RPM launches which resulted in
engine killing bog, broken driveline, to much traction-problems , carb.
problems-- enough to PO the Pope. I was advised" get the ignition right before
anything else". but I am stubborn. I had single point stock Mopar rebuilt dist .
and stock coil. That combo USED to work OK with chebbies. SO, bit the
bullet and installed Pertronix III point to electronic conversion , and
Pertronix stock looking 40,000 volt coil. See?----to stubborn to use the
Mopar electronic dist . and orange box. Installed the FBO Systems advance
limiter plate, and their advance weight springs kit. Took my dist. to a friend
who has a bench set up machine , and experimented. We settled on : 36
degree limit total advance with 18 degree mechanical, , 8 degree vacume, and 10
degree initial advance. New spark plugs @ .045 gap.
WOW ! I can't believe how much better the performance is. Just the
ignition tune solved all my other problems. Brutus will light the tires up now,
and has proven that the sure grip is working as it should. Now I need to
work on getting ENOUGH traction ! Now a firm believer in importance
of getting the ignition right.-first thing.

a 12.50 quarter mile? ...................................MO -- -- Please address private email -- email of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.
