Last night I installed a MV161 Pertronix ignition conversion in my 53 M37. The engine was running fine prior to this installation. When I went to start the truck, it would barely run at anything close to an idle. I turned the distributor all the way clockwise and now it will idle and rev up fine but it acts like it has no power. Did adding this ignition system basically change my static timing to the point that I can't make my engine run right without re-indexing my distributor?
Thanks,
Jon Martin
