Today, dollar for dollar, is the 318 faster than the 340 ???

The early hemi distributor is not a bolt in swap.
It's had some heavy modifications on my part, haha.

But, this is why I don't bother trying to make informed posts on internet forums. Instead of asking the "whys", and rationally debating reasoning, it turns into a flame war. Or people pick out what they see is wrong, and ignore anything that may be correct because it doesn't agree with them.

Just because one person feels they are right, doesn't make everybody else wrong. And its unnecessary to try to force feed anyones opinion to anyone else.

TLDR, let's all be grownups and get back on target, eh?
