Title: 1929 La Salle Distributor Data
Post by: NH LaSalle on October 28, 2023, 10:41:04 AM

I am asking if any member has data (tables or graphs) pertaining to the distributor's spark advance vs. the distributor's RPM for the `29 La Salle? That info is requested to install the correct springs for the distributor's centrifugal advance weights. (I suspect, but don't know, that the data for the `29 Cadillac's V-8 would be similar enough to use).

Go to this site:

Look for the 1930 Cadillac information kit. Among the documents is a data book with a graph that charts engine RPM against horsepower and spark advance. Maybe that will help you.
