Temporary mechanical advance lockout on HEI?

Post by travis »

I’m curious to see some of y’alls HEI advance lockout setups that aren’t permanent. I’m trying to help a guy with the tune on his car that seems to be way over cammed. Vacuum advance will be retained.

Take springs off weights, if your only testing.

Yup remove weights and springs and zip tie the mechanic adv mechanic fully advanced. Orient zip knuckles down under so the rotor goes back on. Reset timing.
Typical 38 deg for a BBC. 34-36 for a SBC.
