question

[Stang67]

My last post was about not being able to go to 30 mph so I set my timing and now I can hit 30 to 40 miles but it is still weak it takes time for it to pick up speed. Any ideas on what I can do
Am running a weber 2 barrel carb

Your last posts mentioned that you have the Load-a-matic distributor. Did you replace the distributor yet? You will need a different distributor if you continue to run the Weber carb.
You also mentioned possibly installing a 1-bbl carb and retaining the Load-o-Matic distributor.
Until you correct the distributor / carburetor mismatch, you can expect to have problems.

They told me a 200 distributor after 1968 with vacuum advance.

Guess thats what I will be looking for. Does any of the aftermarket ones fit in a 67

Man, I can understand your frustration with a car as sweet as that. I suppose if it looked like a pig it wouldn't be quite as disappointing.

if you haven't already,you should do a compression check.
was this engine recently rebuilt?

The 68 points type distributor will work. If you are looking for aftermarket, Mike sells a DUI distributor on Classiinlines.com website. You can also go the DSII route and get an electronic ignition fairly cheap.
Do a search on DSII for installation tips.

I recommend Duraspark. You can get a used Duraspark fairly cheap and the replacement/maintenence parts are easy to get and also dirt cheap. You can also upgrade the Duraspark system as you go with hotter coils, different modules, MSD boxes, etc etc.
