Basically achaive the same thing as going to HEI, eliminates the points for electronic spark triggering. I do agree with advancing the timing. I had a similar issue with the Mallory Magnetic Breakerless i have in my 235. Ended up going with 15 degrees BTDC, however, I am not running a vacuum advance.
