Default Re: 1933 V8: Troubleshooting...suggestions welcome

When you lose power is the engine pinging indicating too much advance? I've read the whole thread and understand you have two distributors from a good source but you may have too great an advance for your engine.

Where is the the pointer on the advance plate? You could try retarding it 2°-4° and note changes. Stock is right in the middle of the side plate providing 4° advance.
