Well, after a waiting a week for the dizzy to come in from Century
Performance and then another week at the machine shop to install the
drive dog, I finally have it installed and running with a Mallory coil
(p/n:29450) and Mallory 8mm wires (black). I still haven't got my
tach back from APT Instruments to be converted to electronic, so I
bought a spare tach to at least fill the hole while I wait.
This car has never run this smooth, and it finally idles without missing.
I'm pretty sure that I suffered from two dizzy ailments; one, I had
the dreaded shaft wobble, and second, I think my Pertronix ignition
was starting to fail. At this point I really don't care.. it finally
runs!
Now a question. With my old dizzy, with the vacuum retard on, I had
it timed at 8 degrees BTDC. Does anyone know how much the vacuum
retard retards the timing at idle?
I'd like to thank everyone for their advice!
