·Hi gang. I am currently re-installing my MSD 6AL, distributor, coil, ect. I have also installed a 100HP Nitrous plate from NOS. I purchased a "timing computer" from MSD that works along with the MSD 6AL that will retard my timing when I hit the Nitrous button.
Here is my question : the timing computer has the option to control the timing as well. If I "lock out" the mechanical and vacuum advance of my distributor, I can then use the timing computer to have my timing at say 15degrees up to 1000 rpm. From there it will gradually advance a total of 20 degrees at 3000RPM's and then be 35 degrees. Whatever I set my Mechanical advance at, it will retard it 20 degrees. Understand?? If my Mech. advance was say 38 degrees, then this would retard it to 18 degrees, then at 1000 rpm's it would begin to advance until it reached the 38degrees.
Should I use this, or stick with the vacuum/mech. dist.?? This will not be a daily driver, but a stoplight racer that will do some bracket racing once a month or so.
Give me some input people.....
