Good trick! I was tuning up my 429 and I just went the expensive route and bought an MSD distributor, learned about tuning the initial advance and mechanical advance and the advance curve by changing bushings and springs, testing and tweaking. Ended up with a similar setup where total centrifugal advance was limited so I could have more initial advance. I was really surprised by what a difference it made.

Where was the after video though?

I add a playing card to my wheels to sound like a turbo

Thats called reducing the "dwell" factor...that may effect power at high end

Actually helps down lower when there is low cylinder filling from low compression and low vacuum motors. Limited the advance. Was 10° initial 38° total Now 18° initial 34° total

Thats why we love our old trucks and cars

So simple even i can do it lol 😆

He just told me how to tell when a distributor is going out

I put big tires on the back so I’m always going down hill

I love how you only showed the inside for the after

And it's NOT an AC Delco distributor. What he did is MORE than just making the timing come in earlier. Do you even know about the limiter bushing in a GM or MSD distributor? In fact most of the curve kits that they sell now for GM type distributors don't even include the limiter bushing because most people don't even know what it is, it's purpose, how to install it, or even where it is located.
