Im not experienced or knowledgeable in the timing dept at all but guys here's the deal; I Just paid $150 for a used MSD Distributor to find out its a MSD TFI distributor(MSD 8456). Im running a carb so from what ive read this is not the ideal setup whatsoever because there will be no control of timing at all.
Can i make this work out? Im thinking use the MSD TFI dizzy, my MSD 6AL box, and get a MSD timing computer to control timing and retard it at startup. something like the MSD 8980, its got the startup retard and has a built in timing advance up until 3000RPM.
that or the adjustable timing control box: MSD 8680. It has a knob where you control the timing in the cab. I think the box with the built in advance is more ideal for what i need to get this thing to run proper?
Thank in advance guys. I really appreciate it, id be lost at times without this place
