I have 36° total. With the lightweight springs in the distributor it pretty much just helps as a retard for starting and is all in at idle. My 6AL is hidden under the battery so stock look is retained.
MSD 6AL with a stock, recurved distributor. Mini starter. Fires INSTANTLY! Even friends with fuel injection are suprised how quickly it fires. If it's cooler I do half a pump on the throttle to get a pump shot into the intake.
Never understood "upgrading" from a stock coil. We're running 10.0's in a 3, 700 lbs. car. The ignition takes the 250 shot of nitrous with ease. Stock, re-curved distributor as well.
I've done it on the last two cars I built and they ran great!
I use the 6AL so I have a rev limiter and use a recurved factory electronic distributor.
Ive hidden the box under the battery tray and hidden the wiring as well as bypassed the funky ballast resistor on my 330.
Couldn't be happier!
The only issue I would have is parts availability.
I like using the MSD 6AL coupled to a Mopar electronic distributor because I drive my cars a LOT!
You can pretty much walk into any parts store and get replacement cap/rotor/pickup for the stock distributor and 6AL's are used by ALL brands and...
I hide an MSD 6AL under the battery tray and use a modified electronic Mopar distributor with different curve, lighter springs, etc.
No way to see it unless your REALLY looking for it and the rev limit chip is easy to access but out of sight.
I've done it on a couple of cars now.
No problems with the Cuda and put about 10,000 miles on it that way.
Currently did it with my '63 330 and no problems at all.
Starts INSTANTLY and runs great!
I've run them on both my cars so far with 440's. The first I had on the 440 in my '71 'Cuda and the latest in my '63 330.
The 6AL is the one to buy since it has a rev limiter and isn't that much more $.
They do clean up idle and do seem to run much better around town but I never saw any...
