[VintageLambo] Re: All That Work for 5 or 6 HP ? Yikes !!

Hello Raymond: You may be right. Do you still have the points in the distributor and are you using two MSD units firing the two coils? I would appreciate some details if possible. A well respected Lambo technician suggested to me that every older Lambo distributor he has checked on a distributor machine showed an incorrect advance curve and changing the springs appropriately solves the bogging down problem. Fred, it would be great if you could speak with Mike Pierce about this and let us know.
