What goes around . . . . Back several decades, I replaced a 92 HP Chevy 6 with a honking GMC truck engine complete with 3 carburetors, hot cam and 9 to 1 pistons in a 6 volt Chevy . . Even an 8 volt battery wouldn't crank that 250 HP engine when hot. I rigged a manual (truck PTO shifter cable) timing control which rotated the Mallory distributor about 20 degrees for starting. A heavy spring returned the distributor to a substantual adjustable stop used to set run-timing . . worked for me. Tony in Texas |
