While setting up my carb cable I read this. What does this mean? I was going back to using my stock 1.7 dizzy, does this mean I can't?
#11 below Are they talking about the ignition distributor or something else?  |

I'm going to bet that they're talking about the kind of FI distributor on the CIS systems, you know like '82 Volvo's etc. Those had 4 hoses running to the injectors which were regulated by the mass air venturi plate & lever. Can't see how ignition distributor would be involved at all..... |

You can use it but most people use the SVDA distributor from aircooled.net

I have a complete Mallory Unilite, CD, and Coil system that I yanked out this morning because I stupidly shorted it out and I need to have the whole system checked. I think I cooked it as I melted the insulation of one of the CD box wires. Going old school to see if I can get it running. |

It will work.
Remember the bottom points and if you want use the vacuum port on the carbs joined at a T fitting to enable vacuum advance. You do not need vacuum advance. Set it up with points and a condenser, set the timing at 27 degrees at 3500 rpms, to show you the full advance. Rich |

Carbs do not have a vacuum take off that I can see. I was just going to leave the dizzy ports open.
