Hi,

I got into my distributor (FoMoCo 12127) to replace the points with a
Pertronix unit and I decided to strip the whole thing down because the
shaft was not turning easily (dried out gunk).  I made note of where the
springs and weights went on the cam and stop plates but I didn't make a
note of which slot in the cam plate goes over the tab that limits the
advance.  One slot is marked 13L (which I believe means 26 degrees of
advance) and the other slot is marked 18L (which I believe means a limit of
36 degrees).  The manual says a max centrifugal advance of 11 degrees.  So,
should I set the plate to 13L for a max advance of 26?

Thanks,
Joe Brown
