Mopar Performance Distributor adjustable advance?
Someone commented that you should toss in the nearest garbage can. I'd add, buy an MSD distributor. They have the advance springs on top, instead of underneath. Setting your advance is a piece of cake.I got one of those FBO limiter plates and was about to set it in the distributor, when I noticed two things. At first I noticed that the reluctor was a bit unevenly worn and the pick-up wasn't parallel to it. I'm sure that can't be good.
Upon closer inspection it looks like the plate is bent. I think I can bend that back.
I noticed that the FBO limiter plate is not going to work, but that the adjustment can be done with an allen wrench?! I don't know for sure that this is a Mopar Performance distributor and there is no part number on it, but when I looked at photos of MP distributors, they look just like it. Anyways, what I like about the FBO plate was that you could set your initial and then set total based on that number plus whatever added up to 34. My initial was 22, so I was going to use the #12 slot. I wish I had opened that distributor before I ordered the plate and the springs, which I don't think will work either. Anyways, any idea how I can set this up without having to take it out again 15 times?
