It seems most A/fuel cars running a Hemi have a 4.375" bore and 3.50" stroke with a longggg rod.

Spud Miller's Cave / Mag Advance/Retard Set-up

Question on your Mag Advance/Retard set-up.

When you activate it, does it hit all at once or do you have an air bleed to bring it in slowly?

I will do up a drawing in the next couple weeks.

For some reason I did not latch on to a distributor when I got the rest of the parts and now find the NASCAR distributor to be rather expensive to buy just for a pattern.

I have a loaner coming but not sure when it will get here (beggars can't be choosers) and will get you the dimensions then.

Good to know on the mag base. Figured I would modify one for the job.

What valve springs did you end up running on it?

Thanks Spud!

I will dig through my stuff and see if I have a core to send you.

On a related note my newest project is a Dodge R5 Nascar engine with the P7 heads.

I need to make a Mag base for it.

If I send you the dimensions of the base where it fits in the engine, can you or one of your guys find me a new base that I can turn down to the R5 dimensions?

Thanks again for your input.

Jeff

P.S. The little Cackle car is progressing.....slowly.

What is the difference between the 8 amp and 10 amp mags?

Which would you suggest for a 350 inch engine on 80-90% , Crowerglide, 31% Lenco 2 speed, rear gear to be decided...
