locked distributors

[Brian Evans <brian@uunet.ca>]

Has anyone got actual experience running race engines with locked distributors?

I know people say you can do it with no problems, but I wonder what happens
when you do this as far as idle, hot starts, and cold starts are concerned.
Any ideas?  The engine I have is a 1865cc 120E ford based engine.  It uses a
reverse rotation distributor, which is essentially impossible to find, and
so I thought I'd try the locked, no advance thing.

Thanks, Brian
