<< ust a couple of questions to get more performance out of our rigs:
1: has anybody taken apart the distributor and have they noticed the old
style spring loaded weights? I'm asking because if our distributors are of
this type, will it work if you put on lighter springs to make it advance
faster. This is an old performance trick
2: I know that our trucks(V-8 at least) uses a timing chain which over time
will stretch. Why isn't it possible to run with a gear timing assembly? I've
seen in performance books that this isn't a do-able procedure for the newer
Dodges but vertually all GM's can run this item. Is it because of the crank
timing? I have a '95, I don't think it uses the crank timing method--I could
be wrong, there is a lot of sh*t down there at the crank.

First, there is no advance in the distributor of our trucks. Its all
controlled by the computer. Second, I dont believe our trucks have a knock
sensor, so gear drive timing "shouldnt" be a problem. On late model GM's,
they have a knock sensor, and gear drive (because of the noise) sets off all
kinds of codes.
