Re: Centrifugal Advance
Henry must have realized the advantages of a centrifugal distributor advance mechanism fairly early on as the model B was equipped with that feature. My model A, at present with the advance not operating through the full range of advance drives much smoother and responds more quickly to the accelerator pedal, at least up to 30 mph then I have to use the column lever for more advance.
I'm thinking that the lifter chamber cover may not have proper clearance and is not allowing the Taurus to move through the total 30 degree range. I won't know until after the first of the year.
I've driven in that sort of traffic; very hard on clutches too.
