MP DISTRIBUTOR TIMING CURVE 340

Hi Folks

Still playing around with my "mule" 318 getting Fuel and ignition straightened out before I break in the 340.

Today, I ran my Mopar Performance distributor (bronze internals). Here's what I found.........

Advancing began at approx 1500rpm. By 1600, I was at 5*, by 1800 at 10*, and at 2000 I was at 14*. I believe the advance is locked out at this point (14* advance) with the plate inside the distributor since going to 2500rpm yielded no further timing increase. I will be moving that lock point eventually to accommodate the idle timing (which I expect to be around 14* btdc to maintain a civil idle speed) that I will have with the 340, shooting for 34* all in by 2500.

At 15 inches of vacuum, the can added 17*. This was pulling vacuum with an external source from idle.

So.........Does this sound like the type of curve I am looking for? Mild 340, 9.3:1(XE 262), 2500 stall, 3.23 gears, auto transmission. This is going in a '71 Demon cruiser. I am hoping the engine will be punchy, and have the balls when I pull out to pass.......No track time.

Thanks FABO
