Re: [T3] Which Distributor to use?


<x-charset iso-8859-1>DaveB=> I also have an 009 and a '73 FI dizzy ...
=>  Which one would work the best for my stock
=> 1600dp (except for a mild cam and 34ict webers)?

Test the total advance on the FI distributor. At more than about 30 degrees,
I'd be concerned. As I understand it the FI brain dumps more fuel at full
advance to add power and cooling. (Am I right about that, Jim?) The carbs
can't.

That doesn't make the 009 any "better", but it won't burn your valves, it'll
just run like crap.

Try a stock '68 vacuum-only distributor (G or H mod code, I think) or an
010.
