I followed the recurving directions from the Mopar Muscle article and it seemed to work well. I need to put some new timing tape on the balancer and check it again to see exactly where It ended up but it definately runs and responds better now.

My place is right off hwy 52 (about a mile) in Inver Grove Heights. You will probably drive right by on your way to the Mopars In the Park show.

Now that Im home and had a chance to read this article. I did this with my old original dizzy, because I couldnt get the engine to sit at one set timing point. It hunted. So I welded up the slots to what they recommended in the article. I even had the exact same springs they said to use. After I got done with it, I installed it in the car and readjusted everything. I noticed that I limited my mechanical advance a ton. The car I had to have almost 26* initial timing (or close to that since it still hunted around) just to get to the 34* total. The car didnt like that. I brought the dizzy to a guy that had a sun machine. He ran it and couldnt get it to dial in correctly either.

So I picked up a MP dizzy from a close friend that had it in his drag car. He had both light springs in his. I do still have the original dizzy so that just saved me a bunch of time on welding up those slots. I can swap the parts over and give it a try in the car now. Oh and with the MP dizzy, when I set it at say 15* it stays at that...
