dlampe;

Back in my dirt track days we did this on our car (chevy,sorry) because we had to run a stock distributor..... We were running about 10 to 1 compression and had no problems,but,again,this was a dirt track,strictly race car set-up......Not sure how it would work for street driving,but I think for track only use with race gas you would be o-k....

Later on,we went to 12.5 to 1 compression and had a hard time starting the motor when hot.... what we did was attach an old manuel choke cable to the distributor and left the lock down bolt semi-loose,would pull out the choke cable to retard the advance to start the car,once started,push the knob in to the dashboard and full advance and go........

Not sure I would use this for a street car,instead I would suggest an MSD mechanical distributor......
