take a compression test on 2 cylinders. for timing at any rpm you basically increase it until the rpms no longer increase much as you turn the distributor then try it there but you may need to back it off around 2 degrees. you "can" run a lot of advance in a low compression engine but that...

CAM this cam rumblefish suggested with 1.6 rocker arms. Voodoo Hydraulic Flat Tappet Cam - Chrysler 273-360 268/276 - Lunati Power VALVES Have your stock intake valves back cut. COMPRESSION unless you milled the bejesus out of your heads and zero decked your block, you have around 9.0...
