We used to recurve our mechanical advance in the ‘60s using a Sun distributor machine and a selection of springs and weights,and sometimes a bench grinder.Make changes,rev it up in the Sun,check again.This set-up is much less labor intensive and can be done without diagnostic equipment.Very ingenious.
Well, I took Brents advice, went in my distributor and it was set up with two heavy springs and a silver bushing. That brings my total advance in at like 4800 rpm! Wow, so I went with one heavy and one light and the black bushing like he recommends and man oh man, feels like I added 100 hp. VERY impressive. Thanks Brent!
"NO red MSD distributor caps!!" 😂 Love it Brent! When I was young, I thought that my '65 Mustang GT looked great with a red MSD cap and a red MSD 6 Ignition box. WRONG! The 363 SBF in my '85 GT Foxbody has a black Sniper Stealth EFI with a black dizzy cap, black coil and black Ignition box. Looks great with the black 'FORD RACING' valve covers!
Brent, awesome video. I just started watching your content and I have learned more about the FE's in a week than I could get out of my shop manuals! I am a Cleveland guy, now that I have two 428's I needed to do my research and it lead me here! Thank you for the content and I will pray for your health!
Hi Brent, love your videos and the way you describe what you're doing. Im running a ice ignition with 2step and total timing control on my fe and i think you would love them. Keep up the legendary work. Took my fe for its first drive a week ago and id like to thankyou for all your tips all the way from south Australia.
