I was told that a Distributor with a tach drive setup has more timing advance built in than the distributor that doesn't. I think I smell smoke.

Fiction! Distributor advance is determined by the weights, spring rates, etc. installed inside the distributor, not the tach drive. All a tach drive setup does is....well....drive a tach!

Shaggy: I rather doubt that claim. As I recall tach hooks into the distributor drive gears, ahead of the distributor. The reasoning on that has to be accounting for slipage, it's gear drive, so where could you get slipage.

I had an uncle named Mort, now Mort never had a matched team of horses. One day some young guys were cat calling Mort about his slow horse. Mort replied," Oooo heeees not bad, he only lost 4 feet on the other horse in 11 miles. Gears are much like harness, once the slack is taken up, ratio pretty much stays the same.

pull thr cap and most of the time there will be number on the plate like , say 14 double that number and you have 28 and then 10 of the end of the crank and you have a total of 38 at wide open throtle.also some of the harvester dist-are marked on the out side take that number and match it up to a manuel,or just take the dist out and have it checked.
