Re: Do they make a self advancing distributor?
Car will eventually have an A crank, 28 chevy head 6.5 compression, hp5a carb and custom manifolds with a warford overdrive. Pressure oil is the end goal so I'm hoping to max out rpms at 3000 and no more.

Advice needed: how to moutn 26 27 subframe and body
Hey guys. I'm looking to do a preliminary mounting of my 27 27 Touring pickup body and sub frame to my frame. Just looking to see if you guys have instructions/prints for what goes where and how to mount everything.

Re: Do they make a self advancing distributor?
Thanks for the response guys. I'd also like to know more about the Bosch cent. advance unit. I googled Bubba's a while back as I believe that is the unit Clayton runs on his Roadster. It looks like he has pretty much retired though or at least no longer produces that unit.

Do they make a self advancing distributor?
As the title states, do they make it? Working on a hopped T gowjob and a self advancing and retarding ignition system would be great. I know the E timer does but I like the look of a dizzy in a hopped up T.
