The great thing about these is how easy it is to experiment with different settings from the drivers seat. My opinion is that it will idle better with a lot more initial timing (20's or more), and more timing (mid to upper 40's), at part throttle cruise in the 49-42kpa row @ 2200-2500 rpm will net a cooler running engine and better fuel economy.
Remember that this distributer cranks at 15 degrees no matter how high you have your initial timing set at.
Your wide open timing seems ok, but like i said previously, its simple to experiment with different settings, and you can make and store multiple timing charts to easily switch between them while driving
