Re: [Amc-list] 304 Overheating

["Armand Eshleman" <aje1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Funny, my 70 Javelin didn't have an advance retard style distributor
made by Ford. My 70 Javelin with the 304 had a smallblock chevy style
distributor with the little window you could lift and adjust the dwell as
the engine was running. My Javelin has a December 1969 build date,
maybe that's why it has the GM distributor.
