My newly rebuilt poncho is coming along,I was able to get the factory choke working that was a relief. The timing curve seems off with the new engine.I am running a Mallory Unilite distributor. I ordered a new spring set to install some lighter springs. Then I found out it would take an act of God to install them.You have to dismantle the whole bottom part of the unit to put in a stop bushing and new springs.Plus it is 20 years old so I made the call to DUI and ordered a custom unit from Steve for the 455. The car is running and starting smooth but lacking the punch of the old motor with bearings that were worn to the copper. I hope the new DUI distributor can help me in the power department. It sure nice to have it back in the garage. Thanks for all your good advice, Brian
