I recently had my 66 350 dual point rebuilt by Nelson industries in Charlotte because the pin that holds the drive gear in place broke; when the distributor was reinstalled and timing set to 38 degrees total advance the car ran better than ever, but would cut out at 5000 RPM. No big deal, I thought as the rebuild included installing a new Pertronix 3 which is supposed to have a rev limit set at 5500 RPM from the factory. I just figured mine was set to 5000 instead; this is easily changed, so I did. I backed out of the garage, shut the car down, and adjusted the rev limiter to 6000. Now, when I start the car, it immediately dies; start right up, then quit, over and over. I can't get it to run no matter what I do. I took it to a shop that thought the ignition switch was bad and replaced it. This, of course was no help, and maybe a little worse as the last time I tried to start, the car backfired through the #1 carb. (the car has webers).
Thanks
