having a little issue...

Most slant six engines like less then 30 degrees total timing without vacumm connected. Then add the vac, to that.
It is not possible to have 28 initial and 36 total with a factory curve in the dist. That would be only 8 degrees centrifical advance in the distributer.
im not running a vac adv. as for the timing i had it at 25 the last time i checked and it went to 34-35 so you were right 10* mechanical. sry.

i dont even think it would run with that little of timing
