<div dir="ltr">Hi,<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">I got into my distributor (FoMoCo 12127) to replace the points with a<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Pertronix unit and I decided to strip the whole thing down because the<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">shaft was not turning easily (dried out gunk). I made note of where the<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">springs and weights went on the cam and stop plates but I didn't make a<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">note of which slot in the cam plate goes over the tab that limits the<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">advance. One slot is marked 13L (which I believe means 26 degrees of<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">advance) and the other slot is marked 18L (which I believe means a limit of<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">36 degrees). The manual says a max centrifugal advance of 11 degrees. So,<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">should I set the plate to 13L for a max advance of 26?<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Thanks,<br>

<div dir="ltr"> The original position was the 13L slot.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">The Shop Manual states 11 distributor degrees which is 22 degrees at the crank; you always have to be careful with those descriptions.<br>

<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">For an exploded view of this distributor you need to look at the electrical section, WF, in the Mark II Parts List.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">There should be a small rubber band around the tab for that advance slot; it acts as a cushion against metal to metal contact and reduces the amount of advance slightly.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"> <br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">If you still have the relatively low compression 260 engine, about 9 to 1 compression, you could use the 18L slot. More advance will give you more economy on the highway. This change requires some careful distributor advance curve tuning on your part.<br>

<div dir="ltr">I got into my distributor (FoMoCo 12127) to replace the points with a Pertronix unit and I decided to strip the whole thing down because the shaft was not turning easily (dried out gunk). I made note of where the springs and weights went on the cam and stop plates but I didn't make a note of which slot in the cam plate goes over the tab that limits the advance. One slot is marked 13L (which I believe means 26 degrees of advance) and the other slot is marked 18L (which I believe means a limit of 36 degrees). The manual says a max centrifugal advance of 11 degrees. So, should I set the plate to 13L for a max advance of 26?<br>
