Love it. I want to add a couple degrees to the max timing but I have been working on painting the front end and I'm waiting to get the car put back together. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to keep their carburetor.

I was thinking you had used it for the last few months .....

I drove it for about a month before I replaced body mount bushings and pulled the nose off to repaint. I've started it up periodically and it's working great.
For that first month I tested the ignition lock feature, fine tuned the timing table, I want to try adding a couple degrees until I start to get detonation and then back it down.
This is a picture of the latest timing table loaded in the distributor and a picture of the car now.

Wait, that map is for a distributor? I like. Seems it ought to take a little more below 2500?

Yes it's for the distributor. For a drop in HEI replacement and no other mods needed I think it was a great investment.

Being able to manipulate the table from your phone while you're driving is awesome. I'll have to take another look at the table below 2500.

I used their table generator for the base line and then started adding timing as I drove to try to get the best performance.

I'm really wanting to get it back on the road but I had to take the nose off to do the body bushings and as you all know one thing leads to another. Now I'm sanding, applying filler and hoping to paint soon.
