Now its starting to make sense to me, thanks Bubbas! I guess my thinking has been: 3/4 race camshaft with 380 lift and 250 duration, merc crank, high flo valves, twin carbs and full 12v system with 40k coil. I need full voltage to make the party happen, or do I. If my motor was really lacking in the juice department it most likely would not be running so good. After Jim at Bubbas did the re-curve on my distributor, that was WAY off it really was running strong, the best it ever has, with the ballast resistor limiting the volts. Guess I am your good old consumer, always believing that I need the next best thing!
