hey i just got a gsl-se 13b that i'm puttingin on saturday and i just noticed it didn't have a distributor will the one from my 12a work???

 

yes, just be careful with the timing the 2 dizzy's have different curves



mike

 

different curves?? huh whagga mean by that??

 

distributors have both centerfugal and vacuum advance. cenerfugal advance is done with wieghts and springs it will advance the timing with rpm. the vacuum advance is done under cruising with engine vacuum. the 12 and the gsl-se just use different amounts. the actual curves are in the shop manual

damn i hope the weighted advance is the same cause that one is un adjustable unlike vaccume advance, which is also:

why does timing have to be such a beioch what if you start the car and its way off and you get a nice ping and then there goes your engine 11.gif so how do you know wheather or not your timing is way off if your installing a new distributer. for ex: i'm swapping in a gsl-se motor on saturday and i doesn't have a dizzy so i have to use the one from my 12a and i heard that the "timing curves" are different so how do i set it before handso i can just start it up to then be able to set the timing with out blowing my $hit up?

 

n-e-1 know???

 

its not different enought that it wont run, and you can ping an na rotary
