Distributer specs? '57, 5 & 59
Didn't see anything in my shop manual but am looking for the specs for the Mechanical advance as well as the Vacuum advance for a '57 with 4bbl.
Since restoring same, this would be the time to have it re-curved too. Maybe someone can recommend a good curve to go along with an 067 Cam?

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
