I am running a 292, 55 block, I think 312 heads, small Holley 4 bl in a 1954 Mercury. I am trying to run the 54 distributor. The timing seems to advance too quick and cause the car to hisitate. It is getting the gas but doesn't know what to do with it. I read on previous posts that these distributors run best with the original carb, which has been changed and gone. What distributor should I be looking for or how can I maybe convert this one on the car? As you go down te road it will rock you a little, no top end to speak of. thanks in advance. I am still 6 volt.
