Guys have given great info as usual. I think tweaking the distrib. is one of the most overlooked items. It is almost a free performance modification and can be done at home with average tools. Computer controlled cars for the most part do not let you alter much but engines love timing. I run all the initial lead I can and limit max to 39 or 40 degrees on my engines.
Setting curve can be done the easiest with a dial type light but even masking tape works in a pinch. a spring and weight set cost about 10 bucks .
