1/4 mile ET guesses

Yeah Rick I'm not sure what the horsepower is but it can't be much. I'm guessing I'm still the stock compression with a VERY mild cam so you might be pretty close.

It's funny you mention the points because my old man said the same thing on the phone. He always helped me with my hot rods in high school but now I live in a different state so he helps me over the phone. Those accel points might be worth a try I guess $55 is cheaper than completely converting to electronic ignition.

I gotta tell ya, I almost choked when I saw the price myself :smile:. Last Accel or Mallory points I bought were $10 bucks or less.....then again that was 30+ yrs ago....lol.

I don't know if there's a shop near you with a distributor machine or not? That's really the best way of seeing what condition it's in and whether it's worth spending any real money on it. One bonus is, if it's good, they can determine the exact advance curve it has and redo it, if it looked necessary.

I've just been trying to think of some relatively easy things to try to get it to pick up.

Oh yea, have you tried running it without the air filter?
