    I put the MSD dist. in my flatty..can't seem to get the timing right. What gives? It pings pretty bad right around 50-55mph. No tach, cuz it's kinda a custom, guess I still oughta invest in one...Anyway, anybody messed with the msd electronic distributor in a flatty? (51 8ba if it matters.) thanks!

    How much initial timing are you running ?
    How much total ?
    Are you running vaccuum advance ?
