Alexiskai, I am not sure, but I have 100lbs compression on all cylinders. My 5.5 has 80lbs. Roger

David, I had the same problem. The Victoria I recently bought had the Nurex centrifugal advance. High compression head, Mitchell overdrive and Mitchell transmission. I had pre ignition and engine knock. I could not get it timed where it would not knock. Nurex was very helpful to remedy the...

Re: No Spark - NEED HELP! Is the gas valve open? I have forgotten that.

UPDATE, Alexiskai I believe it is a Nurex distributor. Nkaminar I retarded the advance a few degrees and it seemed fine after a short ride. I will give it a longer run when I have time. Thanks to all.

I don't know the maker of the distributor. I did install a timing indicator for the crank. Just looking for information from you guys so I know what to do. Nkaminar has some good advice, so I will start there when I get a chance. Thanks

I have a new to me 31 which has a high compression head and a centrifugal advance distributor. It starts and runs just fine but sometimes at speed I am getting pre ignition. What is the best way to set the timing?

No way the beige is the one.

Think I will just disconnect it from the distributor and then maybe have some fun as suggested. Thanks all,Roger

Yes Alexiskai that is correct.

What is the best way to lock out the spark advance? I have a more modern distributor which uses weights to advance the timing. Roger

When accessing the bustle the seat back hits the arm rest leaving only a couple inches clearance. What is the best way to use that space? Thanks, Roger

What insurance company do you have?

I would connect the red power feed to the negative battery post.

I am looking for a spark plug cleaner. The amazon ones are useless. It is hard to clean plugs without a good media blaster.

Try NAPA for 3x plugs about $25
