Redneck Re-curve
Re-curved my distributor today and of course I don't have the proper bench vise or tools for the job. I was determined to make it happen while the wife took the kids to Chucky Cheese. I previously change out one of the medium springs to a light spring and it made a seat of the pants difference. Today I changed out the other medium spring for another light. Then adjusted the mechanical advance from 24* to 16*. Planning on running 18* initial with 16* mechanical for a total of 34* all in estimately by 2400 rpms. My car made the best vacuum at 18* initial but there was to much left in the distributor. Hopefully the car likes the adjustment.
