Here is the deal... I finished up my engine early last month and I am still piecing together my FI system to what I want. However, I want to get my engine broke in and ready to install. I don't want to spend a ton on a distributor (that will be getting yanked soon after) but I also want a good setup to run until the FI setup is ready to go. Give me some options gurus!
Can I run this with a Bosch blue i have sitting around?... http://www.amazon.com/Pertronix-D186604-Fl...r/dp/B004C02I1S I'd rather not run vacuum if I don't have to... I just set up a test stand to fire this bad boy up... Oh and I'll be running a set of dual webbers with it .... |

if you go the svda route. run a hose from each vacuum port on your webers (im assuming there IDF's) into a T then one hose from the T to the vacuum can in the distributor. then time to 28 degrees full advanced. with the hose off.

So, not to hijack, but is that distributor (the one in the original post) a good option for a carb car? The vacuum stuff is dysfunctional on my car and I'm going to have spend some bucks, and I'd like something solid and getting rid of the points doesn't bother me at all. Thanks |

Thanks if i were in your shoes, and was willing to spend the money, and did not want or could not go with a svda unit. i would look into something of better quality. likwe a mallory unilite. tscrihfield is in a different situation. he is looking for a semi-temporary solution. your sounds like it might be looking for a more permanent solution. i would spend the extra dough and get something of better quality. |

[/quote] All right, but I'm still confused as to advantages of vacuum advance or centrifugal advance for a carbed car. Nothing hotrodded, just a daily driver situation in a 4 season climate. |
