Hi again.  As we discussed before, my engine seems to be a bit of this and that.  I have an early 58 Fairlane with vin plate showing a 292.  The block is a ECG. The heads are ECZ C or G .  I can't see behind the distributor close enough.  The intake manifold is a 4 BBL ECZ.  The carb is an Edelbrock 1406, 600cfm.  The distributor has no vacuum advance, just mechanical .

I have put a Petronix ignition into it and it runs nicely.  Seems like quite a dog's breakfast to me.  What do you guys think?  And, thanks for all the great ideas and education.
