I'm sure I don't have 10:1 compression as I didn't get the head skimmed that far.
The 45DM4 could be made to work, then, as it has a light primary spring allowing advance to come up rapidly. It also has a 10 degree cam, giving 20 degrees max advance at the crankshaft. then 10 to 15 degrees initial advance would give me the 30-35 degrees total. Anyone local to NJ have access to a dizzy machine? :) -=Chris Chris King http://home.comcast.net/~kvcbk/ <-----Original Message-----> From: William M.

With ~10:1 compression ratio, you can run up to 35 degrees of advance at speed. The curve should start to climb rapidly as you come on the cam, or you can set it up so that you get most of the advance as the cam starts to kick in. With that said the most advance I have seen in a dizzy is 23 degrees. Anyone else have any ideas or thoughts? _______________________ Bill Gilroy 77 MG Midget . *** http://www.team.net/the-local *** Your messages not reaching the list?
