Distributor Timing - Ignition Curve

May 28th, 2003, 07:27 PM

Hello,

I have a 1969 Model 98 with the 455. I am looking for some info on the correct ignition curve for this car, as my dizzy has the advance curve all wrong.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

This notice is from Australia, so I do not know who to ask.

The advance curve on most cars can be difficult for most novice mechanics. It requires changing distributor weights and springs in the correct combination to achieve a curve that matches the engines power curve. There are a couple of companies that specialize in Oldsmobiles and can re-curve the dist for you.

Is this what you are really looking for?
