I posted in the "what's your timing" thread about today's experiment. The HEI distributor I have is set up with a much flatter curve than the original distributor. The original, with points & condenser, seems to run better.

I knew I needed to set up the distributor, didn't realize it was like this. Instead of setting up the distributor, I'm going to put in a Pertronix. I can go with the lightest weight advance spring and get similar to what I got with the original. I always run premium which says it should be okay.

I don't have a way to post pictures, but can post video of the three charts I built.

Danged speedometer broke on my test run, it was so smokin!

Have any of you used Rhoads lifters? What's your experience?
