Theres a guy in town who does a lot of work with roundy round cars.He said he hook my dist up and set the advance for $45.Do you guys think it's worth it?
He likes to see SBF have a total of 30 all in by 2500 rpm.

Ok thanks Steve once I get the car running again.I'll recheck what I have now.I run the motor at 14 at 850rpm.I was talking to the local guy he told me to run no more then 10-12 and have no more the 10 vac advance and no more then 30 total at 2500rpm and no more then 30 total at any rpm.------------------
