Default Re: Tuning help

Thanks for all the help guys. Seems I've got my tuning woes surrounded.

The two size up jet change realy helped the lean surge (it's almost completely gone).

When I went to really dial the timing in, I discovered that I am only getting 11 degrees of mechanical advance. It is there at about 1900 RPM, and doesn't go any further. It's not the original distributor (generic re-manned 455). I do have it though.

I'm assuming this is not good. My question is, what is my best solution? Can someone recommend a distributor guru? How much does a dialed-in distributor (I'd prefer to leave this to an expert)cost? Is it possible to buy them "off the shelf", or is it only possible to get your original re-done?

Last question, is it OK to drive the car this way? I mean, am I hurting anything or just giving up performance?

Thanks again!
