Nice, thanks for the info. Those do atomize really well. I need to finish up cleaning up my lathe so I can put it back to use.

Hollow pattern with a 90° angle is what I'm using.  Seem to atomize the best.  Night and day difference from a same sized standard nozzle.

I've been on vacation the last couple weeks so I'm just reading this thread now.

Michael, this may be the impetus you need to abandon your Bush-era flip phone and join the rest of us using smartphones. I'd be happy to help by giving you help on the learning curve and I'm sure you'll find it very easy to upgrade.  A Smartphone doesn't need to be expensive you can get one on a cheap monthly plan. The Bluetooth to access a timing map is just one of the many advantages.

Another option if using modern day phones isn't of interest.

I just sold a used one I experimented with on my mini and bus.  Does boost retard and everything in between in a 3d map format. I should even have the locked out dummy distributor for the mini still laying around in the shop you can have.  Only issue was I had to convert back to points because the electronic module in the mini distributor gave horrible kickback on startup with electrical interference. Used it for several years on the bus till going 123BT for...well Bluetooth and a cleaner setup. The blackbox is old-school with a serial cable for windows 98.
