Ignition problems

Yes if you reverse those wires on the pick up it will advance the timing 12 degrees and then it will back fire thru the carb. This is all thru the exhaust. MSD rep told me the only way I will get that extremely loud banging thru the exhaust is having the timing retarded. I have had 3 different distributors in it. With the HEI set up in it the motor just sits there and purrs. Thanks every one for the info. Will let you know what I find out. If I ever do .LOL
