IN THE OLD DAYS AT THE DRAGSTRIP WE USED TO SET POINTS WITH A MATCHBOOK COVER. MIKED OUT AT .016 . THEN WE’D SET THE TIMING. ADVANCE THE DISTIBUTER TILL THE ENGINE BINDS UP AGAINST THE STARTER. RETARD THE DISTRIBUTER TILL THE ENGINE TURNS OVER AND STARTS, LOCK THE DISTRIBUTER DOWN AND YOUR SET TO RACE. IF THE ENGINE KNOCKS UNDER LOAD EITHER USE ETHYL OR RETARD THE TIMING TILL THE PREIGNITION KNOCK STOPS.
