Default Re: 47 V8 ignition mystery

Craig, here’s an idea on a test for your distributor: Do your “miss at acceleration” test with and again without vacuum to compare the difference in running. Remember beforehand to adjust the damper brake to a very slight drag. You’ll need to remove the distributor to make that adjustment, but that’s where it should be set at anyway. It also requires that your leather brake is in good shape and well oiled, and the edge of your advanced disc is not pitted from rust, and weights are able to move freely.
