total timing

So, the OP had asked if running 42* total will hurt anything.

If more advance is better for low end, why not run the 42 provided there is no pinging?

That is about where I am..(base is around 18 as I recall)..plugs look good, no pinging ever, even on 87 octane.

I am running an off-the-shelf distributor from Autozone.

I have a cam and my low end is a bit "soggy"...cant really do a burnout...LOL..... but from what I know that is due to the cam. (Running 3.55s with 29" tires, TCI Breakaway convertor)

Should I bump my base even more and see what happens?
