Any other notes/suggestions appreciated. I will be putting in a crane cams electronic ignition later, but will use points that are in the distributor for now. --------------------------------- Make the OEM distributor run correctly before you add the electronic ignition. Set points to .016, set timing to 7.5, Mark your fan timing notch with white out or something else that makes it easy to see. Distributor vacuum comes off of the forward side of the throttle valve.
