AND I FORGET THE MOST BASIC THING.


I can't believe I just remembered this today. I'm running around like a chicken with my head cut off looking for a couple free tenths and I completely forgot about my distributor.

I bought my MSD distributor off a member on a local site. Its just a standard mechanical advance carbed unit. Long story short, I completely forgot to go through the distributor and chance the advance springs and advance stops.

There was so much going on when I got the car running I forgot to get this thing dialed in. Out of the box, this distributor has the heaviest advance springs and the lowest advance stops. Just to put this into perspective, right now I am not getting full advance until 4000rpm. I raced all summer setup like that too


Moral of the story, Im an idiot LOL.

So...  I assume you're not launching at or above 4000rpm.
I know zero about your setup, but if you're not working on junk to attain quick 60s...  yes, you are leaving a lot on the table.

When I say "junk" I'm talking about parts or setup in general...  not say POS.
