mudbilly said:I have one but I never changed any of the springs or bushings. I tried to understand all the timing/power curves that they supplied but for the way I drive I didn't think that I'd see/feel any difference.
I figgered that the way it came from the factory was probably how 99% of them get installed anyway.
spirockp said:Mudbilly. The first thing your suppost to do is change the springs to the lightest ones. It will make your foot responce and motor revs increase so much quicker. You will definitly notice the difference. Besides that, that was all I touched.
hrspwrjunkie said:That's not true.
The springs, which change the advance rate and the bushings which limit total advance used in conjunction with the initial timing you set needs to be taylored to the specific engine combination you have.
A couple of the difficulties you may find with advancing the timing too quickly is that you will either have to limit total advance to a level which won't be optimal for higher RPMs because of premature ignition or advance at that rate is just too fast for the combination, period. That isn't to say it didn't work for your combination, but it isn't advice that will work with every engine combination out there.

mudbilly said:well the car ran like crap with the lightest springs....the exhasut sounded crappy like it had an miss or something............lots of detonation under acceleration
i stopped half way home and put back in the heaviest springs, the one it was shipped with
i probably won't experiment anymore because my car has always run good the way it was, but i'd be interested in hearing what you finally do.
spirockp said:My experience was right out of the box the car drove OK but it seemed like I was draging a house. As soon as I changed to the lighter springs which made it advance quicker, the car just now takes off. I'm running a 302 at about 290 horse.
67Dylan said:What's your total advance at? What RPM does it kick in at?
spirockp said:I don't recall what my total advance is.
"What RPM does it kick in at?" I'm not sure I know what your asking? All I know is I hit the gas and the car just takes off. Much better then the Mallory I was running with before.
