5. Onto timing control....in theory, should a locked oe distributor work? yep. Does reusing a ten year old mag pickup, with a non phasable distributor rotor, cause issues for a shade tree mechanic? Yes, regularly.
There goes my plan, I'll still try it whenever the unit shows up, but I was really hoping to not have to buy a new distributor. I have a stock unit out of a '73 currently locked out running a 6A box with no issues at all. I was hoping there would be no issue running the same dizzy with the Fitech but it doesn't sound like I'll be that lucky.
