Re: [Amc-list] Carb Spacer...yes or no? (Performance Upgrade ?)

["I. Herman" <73jav@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's overheating now and getting sluggish when it's doing so.  Part  
of the problem is that the vacuum advance is bad.

I am also wanting to upgrade from points to the Ignitor II from  
Pertronix.

How much benefit, performance enhancement would I see with:

1.  Vacuum Advance
2.  Vacuum Advance + Spacer
3.  #2 + Pertronix Ignitor (and possibly coil to go with).

I still gotta get the carb gasket either way, hence my indecisiveness.

Thoughts?
