With the vacuum advance disconnected and the line plugged, shoot for 37 degrees total advance at 2500-3000 RPM. It's usually necessary to have somebody recurve the centrifugal advance in the distributor to get those nunbers. Simply increasing the initial advance will result in too much total spark advance, and overheating and/or piston damage. Jerry
