Now grab the rotor and twist it in the direction of rotation till it stops, marking off starting and stopping point on rim of distributor. This is of course a starting point for experimentation-every engine has its own tastes.īefore engine is running, study it so: Get a degree wheel or protractor and either bore it out with a holesaw or make a special fitted one carefully drawn on cardboard so it fits snugly over distrib in place of cap. do I just set the point gap on the leading and trailing points then adjust the trailing points until I get the correct dwell?Ĭlick to expand.You probably want about 4 degrees static and enough centrifugal to take it up to about 20, and the curve should be fast, starting in right off idle and getting done before 2,000. My biggest question is setting the dwell on this thing. anyone happen to know what recurve kit I would have to order? also, someone mentioned a replacement condensor from napa, would anyone happen to have the part# for that (just in case kinda thing). I've heard you can get advance recurve kits from mallory to set these up with the right advance for a flathead instead of a SBC. I'm gonna set the initial timing around 5-6 degrees.
question is, what should I set my point gap and dwell at. it's got about 7-10k miles on it with no problems yet, points cap and rotor all look new. it has been pretty good up to this point despite all the bad mouthing I hear about them. I have a mallory dual point in it that was purchased and installed in about 1992. I'm going to be resetting the dizzy in my dormant flatmotor tonight and was looking for the generic starting points. Hey guys, I've searched around the flathead ignition stuff and still have a few questions.
