In fact, it may even be considerably more than that, just don't remember for sure since it has been a while since I checked it. I see that most people say to have 36 degrees all in by 2000 or 2500 RPM. Does the 36 degrees include the base timing of 16 degrees or is that added to get a total of about 52 degrees (which seems to be about where total timing is when I check these cars).

Jeff,
36* all in by 3000 includes the initial timing. Make sure you disconnect the vacuum advance when checking this....
