Oops, maybe I said that too loose.

What I meant is double the rpm's and degrees but don't double the vacuum reading, 20" is 20".

BTW my Sun machine needs new bearings, know where I can get some?

I have a lathe, I would be happy to make you a set, no charge. Just would need the specs. I still say you don't double the degrees.

It has to be Mike, 16 degrees at 4000 rpm is toooo little, and that's the max spec. Distributer degrees and rpm are one-half engine degrees and rpm.

My '72 service specifications book makes a note in the advance tables, it says distributer rpms in the rpm column and camshaft or distributer degrees in the degree column. Your numbers are correct.

Anyway, I really appreciate the offer! I have yet to dig into it and see what the bearings look like.
