Sheesh... now that's a firestorm of debate. Nice work, guys. And thanks for all the insight. When the ice shakes loose here in the next few weeks, I'm going to start digging into these upgrades and such. I'm hopeful you gents will stay tuned and be willing to provide more guidance (and debate) as I need it which sounds like a sport for you...
Again, thanks guys. |

debate, no debate just orginal Pete is dead set on points. Same story same discussion same results.
The Electronic Dist can be a little pricey compared to what you used to be able to get and at times on back order depending what unit you go with and the supplier you choose. |

Just realized while reading this Chris that the same set you put in are still there running. That was a few years ago (3?) now. Better throw some spares in the tool box. john |

Hey guys... So I've gone ahead and replaced my plugs and wires to try and address my hard hot and cold starting issues as a start. I've also gone ahead and invested in a new distributor. So far, I've tried to follow the Mallory instructions as best I can, except that when I removed the old dizzy, the rotor turned so I'm not exactly sure which direction it should be pointed. Before removing it, though, I made sure to set the flywheel at 0ยบ top dead center. So, technically, the rotor blade (when I place the new dizzy in) should be pointing towards the #1 cylinder/plug/wire, right? And it shouldn't matter which way the new base of the distributor is pointing, right? I plan to time everything once I have it in, but I just want to make sure I'm in the "ballpark" so it'll at least start up. Hopefully I don't sound too knuckleheaded... don't do this for a living.
I'm also planning on trying to "tune" my carb (mostly the float level) as directed by some guys here. But I'm having a really hard time finding any instructions on how to go about doing it, even on the Holley site. Anyone have any thoughts about where to find a "tuning guide" for a Holley 80552 carb, specifically how to adjust the float level? |

as long as you had the #1 Cyl on the compression stroke, then you should be good regarding the dist. it's normal for it to twist/rotate slightly when installing that is the gear's messing and seating. Regarding the base techinally no it doesn't matter but it's a good idea to pay attention to the clips for the cap and were the wires exit when postioning it.

Thanks GP... appreciated. So, to be perfectly clear, just go ahead and install the new distributor, and point the rotor blade "towards" the #1 firing plug/wire in the cap? Then I should be able to start her up and time her, yes? And, yeah, I'll be careful how I position the base regarding access & clips & stuff. Again, these may be stupid questions, but I gotta ask anyhow.
