Distributor Question

Ed Carpenter · 06-20-2007, 12:50 PM

My son (18) finished building his 327 for his 70 Nova. It should run in the 11's. It has all good pieces in it but he put the factory distributor from the old 350 back in it with new points,condensor,etc. It has a curve kit in it with the heavy springs. The engine runs great at idle but at around 3000 it starts to break up and miss alot. If you really start to get on the engine it pops like crazy. I run a crank trigger in mine so we can't switch out and try it. is he going to need to run a msd or mallory type dist with this engine. Also he bought a standard coil. Im not sure if it can put enough juice for this engine. Thanks as always for the info.
