Default Re: distributor

deming,
I'll toss this out for what ever it is worth......
If/when you go with a 4 barrel carb your Ford Loadamtic distributor with or without Pert will not function well. At least think about a Chevy distributor refitted to run in an 8BA. Can be 100% mechanical adv and will run happily with one 2 brl a 4 brl or multi carbs. It can be set up for points or Pert and is happy with 6 , 8 or 12 volts
I am a believer in the vintage small base Rochester or Carter 4 brl carbs. The Rochester is simple and effective with mechanical or vac operated secondaries and
was mostly used on early 50's Olds and Cad..I've a few in my stash and they show up often on e bay. The vintage Rochesters have the 'look' and are easily tuned.
