    the perfomance of the distributor is mostly effected by the advance weights and springs. on the hei those are located right under the rotor. most auto parts stores have kits that give you different springs and weights. so it is an easy dizzy to tune. i dont know about the quality of the compontes used in the dizzy but being an accell i would trust it beter than the cheap no name ones.

    You would have gotten the same result by just using a Pertronix unit in the points distributor, combined with a hotter coil. Pertronix II or Crane XR-1 and a hot coil are good to 7500 rpms.

    changing the weights and springs changes the timing curve. will allow timeing to come in faster(lower rpm ) or higher depending on how you set it up and the needs of motor.:chirp:
