Slant 6 lean burn distributor info...
Bill I thought you already had a MSD btm it will retard your time up to 15 degrees or 1 degree per psi of boost up till 15 psi of boost
The one I have, has a selector knob on the dash that allows you to select retarding the spark one, two, or three degrees for every pound of boost it sees, up to fifteen. Or, select "no retard."
It IS pretty handy...:blob:
But, I only need about 6-8 degrees of retard, and I'll be making 15 pounds of boost with this motor in probably less than 2 seconds, so even set on one (1) degree of retard (per pound of boost), the MSD Boostmaster would be retarding a lot more than the amount that I need. I'd have to set my initial timing at 33 degrees to get it back down to 18 when the boost kicks in, and I don't want to set the initial that high... I don't see this thing needing more than 24 degrees under ANY circumstances, but I could be wrong.
Maybe if it were an O-Ringed block, it might live with that much initial. But at this point, it's not.
Like I said, I may have to give it a 1-second shot of nitrous at the launch... but, probably no more than 1-second...
We'll see.
