Stevo New Guy S Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 13 Phoenix Az	I've got a centrifugal advance distributor on my '54 GMC COE with a 270 in it. Anyone have any words of wisdom on how check if this thing is working right? I've just put a rebuilt updraft Zenith on this thing and it'll start and idle great, but bogs down under any load.Got a good fuel pump, clean lines and new gas. Any ideas on where to go next? Thanks Stevo
