some other interesting points:
i am running the engine with a vintage (rebuilt) ford dual point distributor. I set up the mechanical advance to give a total of 20 degrees of advance, and I only have a light spring, so I run about 16 degrees at idle (1000 rpm) and 36 total by 2000. I probably will increase timing a bit, since the engine seems to like it
I added a complete MSD system. I increased the spark gap and used a fancier coil, and it made absolutely no difference in any way I could tell. SO i removed it all and went back to old fashioned points. You can all make fun of me for that all you want, but I have never been stranded by points, but I have had an MSD unit crap out after less than 1000 miles, which totally shuts you down.
