Strangely, the 1500 Competition manual recommends replacing the distributor
with an earlier one to get a different (better) advance curve, and recommends
going with points over electronic ignition. I understand the curve bit, but
not the points.
Last August Steve Eiche <seiche@cellport.com> posted a message to this group
that the late model Lucas electronic ignition was actually a GM HEI system,
cast into the box mounted on the firewall. Can you tell I kept the message?
:-) I think I asked him about it, but got no reply. If it actually is an HEI,
I don't know what you could do better then that ignition. Changing the advance
curve and otherwise playing with the advance are about all I can see that one
could do to better it then.
