Default Re: stock dist with jr. isky cam

That takes it out of the "stock" range for sure. I'd question the benefits of a dual point set up in a Load-O-Matic on an 8BA type engine. Which carb would run the vacuum advance? The Holley Load-O-Matic's used spring tension to hold the advance against the vacuum can pull and they were very limited on the available advance. A modified Chevy or Chrysler distributor would give a person both centrifugal advance and vacuum advance. A person needs an adjustable vacuum can to run it on manifold vacuum with two 94s or two 97s. When they are dialed in, they can't be easily beaten for overall street performance. The Load-O-Matic is barely acceptable for a stone stock 8BA type engine.
