Me , I more trust the old original stuff but sometimes the flyweights and bushings etc. need replacing , lucky for us GN used the same mechanical parts and module as the V-8 dizzy did .

Early 250's were set to 10* BTDC but by 1967 the smog tests mandated TDC timing , depending on your engine's health one or two degrees timing makes a HUGE difference ~ if it cranks over fast & easily , I'd start with 10* and back it off one or two degrees at a time if it pings or diesels .

*DO* unplug that vacuum hose when it's hot idling to see if there's any vacuum signal .

Enjoy that 402 ! who's paying the fuel bills ? .
Ha ha yea cant wait for the 402 it wont be a daily driver so i wont mind spending the money on fuel ,Having the power will be well worth it.Thanks again for all the info when it warms up some i am going back through it again.
