Arnolt tuning specs

[Rich Slevin]

Does anyone have a distributor advance curve for an AB? Latest effort was to change the springs in the Dist that was only getting 15 degrees advance. Now getting 30 degrees. Car runs better, but low end is still slow to pick up. I think the advance curve needs to come on sooner, but I have no specification as to the proper curve.

A few other things to sort out if anyone has any comments:

- Need to rebuild the carbs. The throttle shafts are a bit loose. Since the AB has no accelerator pumps, I think any air leakage may be contributing to the low end hesitation. Anyone know of a quality, experienced shop that does these?

- I have one of the rear torsion knuckles leaking gear oil through the boot. Do I need to pull it and rebuild? If so, where do I get parts for these? Any experience or comments are appreciated.

- I have an extra 4 speed transmission I would like to have rebuilt as a spare. Anyone know of a shop that has experience and access to correct parts?

Thanks for any support. -Rich
