Thread: 30 degrees of advance at idle?

Tweet

Edit:

SUCCESS!! (mostly):

I followed Denny's instructions, and using the article I first linked to, I finally set it up like this:
14 degrees static +
22 degrees centrifugal (starting 800, coming all in by 2800) +
16 degrees vacuum

I still have work to do, but I am 90% there. I am pretty sure my timing marks are off though. With the above setup, it still bogs REAL bad at full throttle acceleration. I advanced static more and more until my marks show 48 degrees at idle (600-700). Only at that setting I am really starting to get some power out of it, and never had any pinging anywhere. Full throttle power still seems off, so now I have to figure where REAL TDC is, and get some timing tape.

I still want to be sure, are the timing weights and pivot shown in the pic correct?
