i have been working on my new 1003 which was rebuilt in 1978 and been stored for the last 34 years. the north-east distributor was converted to a mallory advance system and uses the mallory points. my question now that all the old grease has been cleaned out and the weights move again what should the total advance be? right now the mechanical advance is set at 36 degrees. and i question if that might be to much. all my books go back as far as 35, but don't have any info in total advance. thanks for the help. dell
