Re: HEI distributor tuning problem

Alright, I got the limiter plate and installed it. I immediately went to the half way notch hoping to cut the advance in half after all the hassle its been giving me. Well, it didn't, I still had a full 20 degree advance and for some reason it was all in as soon as I plugged in the advance! I ended up switching to the heaviest springs and all the way to the last notch. That cut the advance by 6 degrees.
Right now I have the initial timing at +8 , then centrifugal/mechanical is +20, the advance at +14 totaling 43. The tapping/predetonation is gone and she runs fairly smooth. I want to do some more fine tuning because I think it can tweak it up a little. I'm waiting on some nicer weather, its been ugly lately.
I will post again when I get it fine tuned some more.
