I just put on one of mokadeth's offy manifolds and I had to remove the distributor. Everything is good except for tweeking it. I don't have a timing lite any more, I haven't needed one for years. But I believe I should be able to set it by how the engine performs, right? When I first started it I turned the dizzy all the way clockwise and it sounded good but had no power and the farther I turn it counter clock wise it performs better but doesn't respond quite as fast on the peddle and there seems to be a low tone whistle sound coming from the engine. Any suggestions?


BTW Mokadeth, there is a noticeable increase in power even without headers and I'm sure the combination will really allow air to flow better.
