Hi Phil .... also using centrifugal only distributor .... but fitted with CRANE XR 700 optical trigger .... been getting a little pinging on a steep climb .... still running a mixed bag of plugs ... one of the Champions in the engine was totally dead ... so grabbed an NGK out of old greasy ... ordered a set of NGK's but will have to check and see what heat range .... may help out with the pinging to have a set of matching NEW plugs ... I think the initial timing is set at 10 BTDC. The stiff throttle return springs are actually the old ones but the block attachments have been moved from the two end manifold bolts to the two end Injector plugs. Clutch is a bit grabby as it had some light rust on the surface ... had to use it because it was an 8 bolt and the old greaseball was a 6 bolt. Don't know if I can do the mods you suggested because of the optical trigger mechanism ... sure fills up the distributor but works nice. Going to be a while before I change the oil to try the MAX LIFE maybe a lot of these problems will clear up just with driving ... watching the oil level closely .. so far so good .....
