Grand Sport Replica with T.I

[Larry T.]

I am assembling a 63' Grand Sport replica with old school TI. I know not all distributors are the same, so the question is a 377 ci with crossram webers and 11:1. Which 64-71 distributor would be the best fit so I can spend my 401k on it???
Thanks

Re: Grand Sport Replica with T.I

It depends on the camshaft design. If you have a high overlap cam with a late closing inlet valve, the 365/375 HP spark advance map would be a good starting point, but it may be difficult to run a VAC with an IR manifold.

Any single point or TI distributor can be tailored to the specific configuration with suitable weights, springs, and VAC.

Thanks Duke
Jim inglese is doing the Weber set up and stated he will send me the perfect cam info, so I will hold off on distributor choice till then.
