the dualls will make a BIG difference..and i played with dist on a machine. 
finally came up with the fact that if you remove 1 of the springs on the 
mechanical advance (on most stock distributors, but im using a ...398 i think now)it 
comes in quicker and gives better low end performance.  i run 51 jets on late 
carbs (powerglide) and a homemade cd ignition. i have played with many 
ignition systems , the old delta cd box(also put out by archer kits and heathkits) 
works very good also.  just get a good ground to it from engine and body and 
keep it in airflow. the old echlin "dwell extender" EAS series another ignition 
add on also kinda helped . the delta really works wonders on a turbo..big 
difference in top end with it turned on.  fun to play with this stuff if you have 
the time...regards tim colson             (still playing)
