MSD E-curve Distributor Set Up???

I would lock it out with the exception of the Start retard function.

Or you could give it an initial timing setting of around 20-22* and then choose an advance curve that would get you close to your 36* number at 2200-2500 RPM

So say 20* initial on the timing light and then choose option setting K in the 15* advance setting so it all comes in before 2500 RPM. So you would be 35* all in at 2500RPM. Of course you want to verify this by revving the engine watching the rpm making sure it don't go past 35* at 2500 RPM.

I would not use the option of any vacuum advance.

So under K your Switch #1 would be set to #1 and your Switch #2 would be set at #1. Vac Advance disconnected

Okay, I think I'm starting to get a grip on this now.

What about setting my initial timing at 10 degrees BTDC and then using the C advance curve? That would give me 35 degrees total advance by 2500 rpm. I have no problem in not using the vacuum advance setting. That would mean setting switch one to position 0 and switch two to position 3.

Am I looking at these charts right?!?
