I Plan on using this Dist. for now, we are now timed:

6* BTDC. Initial @ 700 RPM and 9" HG.

40* BTDC. All-in @ 2250 RPM and 21" HG.

"These settings are with the Vacuum advance on"

Here is the curve:
RPM Degrees BTDC. HG
(1) 650-700 6 9
(2) 1000 18 13
(3) 1250 26 14
(4) 1500 30 16
(5) 1750 34 18
(6) 2000 38 20
(7) 2250 40 21
(8) 2500 40 22
(9) 3000 40 22

So, your initial is low and your total timing (without vacuum) is also going to be very low. The engine is missing quite a bit of performance and efficiency that way. Maybe when you feel like revisiting it, we can straighten it out.

Mikes reply:

It looks at second glance, that I am "all- in" by 2,500 RPM, 40 * BTDC., @ 22 HG. This test must have been using the Vacuum advance hooked up to get these high numbers.

P.S. Time for me to start shopping for a new Flexplate, wish me luck!
