The main thing is to get the total timing around 34* and not to focus so much on initial timing. Most of the time our cars have been altered so much that a base timing is nothing more than a suggested starting point. If the mechanical is around 18-20 degrees then 14-16 would be your initial timing. Each degree on your damper is 1/16th" so you can use that as a guideline in what the base timing actually is ,once you`ve set the total timing at 34*. For running the streets you can employ your vacuum advance and that`ll make up for your timing advance before the mechanical is fully in. It`ll probably help with your gas mileage too! Under WOT you won`t have to worry with the vacuum advance as it`ll be out of the equation. I hope this helps some, I have a hard time explaining myself on the computer. If I was in Canada (wish I was today ,heat index here is at 105), I`d gladly come to your house and help you out. Good luck!
