I owned a 412 with manual tranny...and, oh my, did that car scoot
down the road!
On a highway trip once, I thought it peculiar that I couldn't get the
car up much above 70...and then I realized I was still in third
gear.
Sad to say, in a moment of colossal stupidity, I traded away that
car.
Dang! This kind of thing happens to me every time I skip my Idiots
Annoymous meetings on Wednesday nights!

I think it's that the disti physically can't be pushed any further than
30-deg without performing some special work and going that high isn't too
engine-friendly for a stocker. I know the late model ('71 and on?) FI
distis could go up to 32-deg. My engine builder had set my advance to
32-deg but I've had it tuned down since.
