I have my distributor to a two wire magnetic pickup. I am using my FITech fuel injection to control my engine timing in my 235. My question is does anyone know how much total timing the original advance mechanisms supply? I am trying to come up with a good timing curve and am curious about the total timing.

For some reason my phone didn’t want me to say I have modified my distributor to a two wire magnetic pickup.

Depends on the distributor. What is the delco number and year of your distributor?

Your engine is out of a car. You could look at the info on the GM heritage centre site. e.g. see page 42 https://www.gmheritagecenter.com/do...mation-kits/Chevrolet/1956-Chevrolet.pdf

Engine is a 1960 truck engine that has hydraulic lifters installed. I have no clue what the distributor came out of.

A lot of the vacuum units are marked, look to see if it has a number stamped in it. Any where from 16 to 24 or more.
