Just a note of clarification on my previous post, I was not referring to 
disabling the advance, merely timing the engine to give the desired 
amount of full advance at speed (3000 to 3500 RPM). You can easily start 
the engine, but because the engine (on the track) never gets below 4000 
to 5000 RPM, the "advance curve" is not an issue. On the track, you are 
always at full advance. Why go through all the work of  getting a 
distributor dialed in with the correct advance curve, if the engine 
lives at full advance?......This is for a race engine, a street engine 
is an entirely different matter.
