Title: dizzy regraph Post by: Dave_EH on April 05, 2006, 03:36:09 AM Hello,
I have a commodore electronic distributor on a 179. As mentioned in previous posts, I have to run high levels of advance at idle to get it to run smoothly. Its making good power under acceleration but the exhaust note doesn't seem as crisp as it should be and economy seems poor. Removing vacuum advance makes little difference. I have also checked that the harmonic balancer rubber has not slipped by checking true TDC. I have the car booked in at David Jones Auto Electricals for a diagnosis and possible Dizzy regraph on thursday. They also have a gas analyser. Is there anything I should ask they to do igntion wise while I am there? Has anyone had a regraph before? Its been recommended to me by many people regarding commodore distributors. I assume they need to know cams specs, fuel RON, spark gap - anything else (jet, power valve size)?

The old boy ( i suppose he was only 45 then) did the dyno work for free for a swap as he wanted to have a drive of my FC he proceeded to scare the crap outa me by going twice as hard as id ever pushed it, he was a far better driver than me thats for sure.so yes a regraph is very worth while.
