The Daytona CD-1 is excellent !!!!
Everyone knows what it's like messing with flyweights and springs in the distributor....Locking out the timing isn't the solution to the problem. No one needs 28-34 degrees of timing at idle or lower RPMS and especially at peak torque areas...
Piston speed is slow and complete burn of the fuel at 800-1000 rpms with high timing makes the burn inefficient.... Blower engines will have surge, stalling and so on...
3 week ago I made a trip to one of my customers that I built 1150s for 3 years ago or more. We were able to adjust carbs, but timing was locked out...he had surge and sometimes would stall depending if he was on the high rpm or low. I talked him into switching, all said and done he was impressed.... He says; he can't blame his docking skills on the boat anymore. It's a 38 Top Gun with 3 As

They struggle to idle at 900. These dominators. Just don't like 600 in gear . They just die. When they were in the fountain with tranny idled them up a bit. But now with there's xr drives trying to get them to idle a bit lower. 😊

Are the Daytona Sensors Ignitions reliable over the long haul? It just seems like a lot of aftermarket items are falling short of OEM quality these days. Aren't DS US made? That would be a big + normally.

I redid 572's w/ dom's(originally hawk 750's) and a 254,262 ls112 cam,came in at just over 750hp.they idle beautiful in and out of gear win an old cig w/ 3's.merc hp-v8 modules firing old gold crane boxes.I'd play w/ the carbs some more while strapped to the dock.also hook up a vacuum gauge and try for the highest reading out of gear,then turn 1 screw to get it to stay idling in gear.no thermostats and engines run at 100°.
not that it should matter but carbs are mounted side to side(bowls).
good luck,no reason a 572 shouldn't idle well.
