Installed factory 18rgeu elec dist. and factory coil/ignitor. Heaps better bottom end and stronger mid-range compared to my points dizzy.
But, as I think you're saying steve, I'm having troubles making it rev now.
I thought factory would have been sweet, but I guess It would have helped to know which motor mine is.
Head i've got is 88270, don't know what if head and block are as factory or if heads been put on another, bought the motor running with solex's and a points dizzy. Never ran the vacuum advance as I don't have timed spark port (none of the nipples on my solexes give any vacuum signal except for a TINY erratic fluctuation irregardless of rev's - tested with a sensitive undampened gauge).
With the points dizzy i had no trouble getting 7000 plus rpm, now it is all over by about 5k. Tried a heap of different initial settings but didn't do any better. There is no misfire or breakdown, just simply doesn't want to rev any harder. This to me says the module and coil are handling fine.
Does anyone know the spec's for the factory dizzy's, ie:
total advance,
what advance at what rev's (usually they give a 'total advance at xRPM and a few other measurements), and
how much advance the vacuum system accounts for.
[Specs can be either in crank angle or dizzy, dizzy = 1/2 crank]
Any other ideas before i try to morph my two dizzy's or buy a cheap programmable module?
