MSD Distributor
PatrickT I didnt say you were great I just used your setup LOL, the man at Orileys said he just left the factory springs in the ones he works on an they work fine with a manual shift, I don't think so.

The way I look at it, the lighter the car, the lighter the spring to use....even more so with a lower rearend gear and an efficient combustion chamber. For the Cobra engines, I always put the lightest springs in. No need to mix and match, bring it in as quick as you can. As for total timing, you really need to experiment if you're trying to get the most out of your engine. My 428 liked 38 degrees total....others I've seen were happy with 36. You just have to tinker.

Most all of the FE engines in my past street driven cars ran best all around at 38-40, of course I haven't had one since 1970 and we could get GASOLENE back then.
I always went by (and still do) finding out what the engine likes as total, find out initial that it will start at, and limit the advance to those two numbers---which means limiting the dist advance number to the differance. I want the advance to come in as soon as possible and yet retard back to base at idle to prevent dieseling and run on at shut down. generally on MSD stuff I end up with one light silver and one light blue spring with the biggest OD donut in the distributor---( Yea Patrick) However----I also do fuel curve to match---- |
